Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner prepares for the 2015 Paris Air Show 2015

Near vertical take off they say.

Fair enough, too.
Every transport category plane has to be able to maintain a positive rate of climb on one engine out with a full load, so this one, empty with minimum fuel and crew, can climb vertically (for a little while, compared with fighter and aerobatic aircraft).
I was hoping for a roll off the top!

Pretty impressive for a big aeroplane.
