Taxi and rejected takeoff tests already underway
Prior to the first flight, Boeing had undertaken a series of taxi and rejected take-off tests yesterday at Paine Field. Despite the bleak weather, the 777X made several rolls down the runway to check everything was ready and working ahead of the first flight.
The 777X is quite a sight, with those huge engines and those magnificent wingtips. The noise of those engines spooling up is enough to send shivers down your spine. We truly can’t wait to see this long-awaited bird take its first flight!
