First image looks like it could be, but the second I'm sure is legit. You can see people down the end, unless they just threw them in..

Is it just me, or are the first and second Dreamliner pictures renderings?

I'm positive that those are all real. I think that first shot came from a demo at a recent airshow that just so happens to be on YouTube.

All the photos are real, and from that airshow. Thanks for the video by the way, loved it! 👍

Some more shots from that display:

I find it interesting Boeing have parted from the usual double slotted fowler trailing edge flaps to a single fowler flap design.

Wow, it's amazing that such a large craft could be so maneuverable. That's awesome, thanks for the vid.

Next time you fly on or see a Boeing that isn't a 787, look at those thingies hanging off the wings as you're taxiing or landing and you'll get it

I know the team's main sponsor has a bird in its logo, but that's just ridiculous.
