Featured Photos of the Week (weekly photos 2014/09/17)

1 Honeywell International Boeing 757-225 Flight Test This Honeywell Boeing 757 is quite special; it is equipped with an engine mounted on the fuselage, and it is unclear what special test purpose this serves. It arrived at Kansai Airport in Japan last Thursday. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to see it in person, so I will just introduce it here.

2 Two weeks ago, I introduced an Airbus Beluga, and here is a group photo of all 5 Belugas. It is quite a rare sight.

3 Since the ban on using electronic devices on board was lifted, interesting photos and videos keep surfacing. This one is a video of Tokyo Disney Land captured during the approach to Runway 22 (RWY22) at Haneda Airport during south wind operations.

4 The newest 747-8i at the Boeing factory; this is the first aircraft of this type introduced by Air China. <a href=https://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-China/Boeing-747-89L/2499313/L/&sid=5cfecfddf90438fe3817b49aa670f7f8>

5 A comparison between the 787-8 and 787-9. This time, it’s not a drawing but the actual aircraft. You can clearly see the 787-9 is longer by a section.
