Fatigue Test 777X Emerges
The first two flight test 777X airframes have been on the flight line. However, something different was sitting outside the production hangars at Everett. It was a 777X but it was missing a few more cosmetic parts. This was the … Continue reading

Never Heard of Them But Now They’re In the News
