A British Airways 747 taxis past Heathrow Airport's new Terminal 5, which will become home to much of the British Airways (BA) fleet from early next year.

Jointly developed by the BAA and BA, T5 is due to open on 27 March 2008.

silicon.com got a behind-the-scenes look at this five-year project.

We also saw exactly how BAA and BA will implement all the technology in T5. Plus, saw how the Heathrow Express trains running between the airport and Paddington are now kitted out with a wi-fi service.
