Farnborough 2012 photo: Boeing 787 Dreamliner shows its amazing maneuverability

One of the highlights of Farnborough International Airshow 2012 was the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner in the Qatar Airways colors.

The liner took part to the daily air display (until Jul. 11) with an elegant series of maneuvers (including a touch and go that is quite rare among civilian aircraft) that showed its stunning maneuverability, as done by the Airbus 380.

Furthermore, besides the steep take off, the B787 showed its short landing capabilities.
