LEGENDS OF FLIGHT 3D
NOW SHOWING IN IMAX 3D!

This is the first ever 3D flight film produced for IMAX® Theaters. Legends of Flight 3D is a visually captivating presentation that explores the relationships between natural flight, advanced design, innovative assembly techniques and operational technologies that have brought us to the dawn of a new era in aircraft design with the Boeing 787.

Several key aircraft are featured including: The Boeing Model 75 Stearman, Schleicher Glider, Harrier Jump Jet, Super Constellation and the Airbus A380. Incidentally, be sure to see our Stearman, Schleicher Glider and Kestrel (experimental planes that confirmed the thrust vectoring technology that led to the Harrier's development) on display at the Virginia Air & Space Center. Filmed against the backdrop of stunning visuals that define the IMAX genre, the journey culminates with coverage of the maiden flight of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Legends of Flight 3D places you in the co-pilot seat as you follow The Boeing Company's chief pilot for the Boeing 787, Captain Mike Carriker through the highly anticipated aircraft's maiden flight. Bringing past to present, Legends of Flight 3D describes the pre-flight drama that surrounded the world's newest aviation addition. Be prepared to soar engine-less through breathtaking mountain passes, feel the wind in your hair in a Stearman bi-plane and experience sheer flight exhilaration as a Harrier Jump Jet leaps into the sky at the pilot's command and then rockets to tactical speed.
