LONDON -- Just last week Boeing delivered its first 787-9 Dreamliner to Air New Zealand.

Now, the company is pushing the plane to its limits at the Farnborough Air show near London.

A six-minute video shows the demonstration flight. The plane had a light load and was able to show off some extreme maneuvers including a steep takeoff and high-bank turns very low to the ground.

Those intense moves caught the attention of air show officials. The Seattle Times reports authorities actually banned touch-and-go landings following the performance.

As passengers, we're just happy we won't have to experience any of these maneuvers first-hand.

Boeing hopes to show the flexibility of the aircraft as the company competes with rival Airbus who is also at the air show.
