Septiembre 15th, 2015, flight VN054 from Londres Heathrow to Hanoi Noi Bai in the Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner named VN-A861, exactly the same that starred the Paris Airshow 2015 with his “almost vertical takeoff”. Of course, without baggage, passengers and with few fuel, any plane can takeoff with a great pitch angle, not really vertical but only of about 50 degrees over the horizon. But in normal operation, as you can see in the following videos, things change a lot! 😉
