\"\"Boeing (NYSE: BA) 787 Dreamliner pilots conducted the program’s first stall tests – in which pilots intentionally reduce power to both engines and then recover normal flight speeds – as part of the initial airworthiness program for the airplane.<\/p>\n

Additional stall tests will take place throughout the flight test period.<\/p>\n

The testing went “very well and there were no surprises,” said 787 Chief Pilot Mike Carriker. <\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of the testing is to demonstrate that in the rare event a pilot encounters a stall during flight, the airplane reacts benignly and allows for a smooth recovery.<\/p>\n

A stall is defined as flying so slowly that the airplane is no longer generating lift.<\/p>\n

During stall maneuvers pilots use a disciplined process to slow the airplane down at precise increments to the point where it shakes dramatically, resulting in forces of 1.5 times the force of gravity.<\/p>\n

Video highlights and an interview with Carriker are featured in a three-minute video on a new 787 flight test Web site that is being launched today.<\/p>\n
