Second Flight Wine
The second 777X aircraft, designated WH002, joined the program on Thursday with its maiden flight from Boeing’s Everett factory to Seattle’s Boeing Field. The second 777X completed its maiden test flight yesterday. Boeing has conducted a successful first flight of the second 777X airplane. The aircraft flew for 2 hours and 58 minutes over Washington State before landing at Seattle’s Boeing Field. Designated WH002, this airplane is the second of four in a dedicated flight test fleet and will test handling characteristics and other aspects of airplane. May 15, 2020 May 15 2020 by Tomas Kellner and Chris Noon On April 30, the second Boeing 777X airplane successfully completed its test flight, cruising 2 hours and 58 minutes over Washington State and landing at Seattle’s Boeing Field. Powered by the GE9X engine, the new 777X is the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet. Ted Grady, 777X project pilot, and Capt. Van Chaney, 777/777X chief pilot, flew for 2 hours and 58 minutes over Washington state before landing at Seattle's Boeing Field at 2:02 p.m. Designated WH002, this airplane is the second of four in a dedicated flight test fleet and will test handling characteristics and other aspects of.
Designated WH002, this airplane is the second of four in a dedicated flight test fleet and will test handling characteristics and other aspects of airplane performance. An array of equipment, sensors and monitoring devices throughout the cabin allows the onboard team to document and evaluate the airplane's response to test conditions in real time.
The 777X test plan lays out a comprehensive series of tests and conditions on the ground and in the air to demonstrate the safety and reliability of the design. To date, crews have flown the first airplane nearly 100 hours at a variety of flap settings, speeds, altitudes and system settings as part of the initial evaluation of the flight envelope. With initial airworthiness now demonstrated, the team can safely add personnel to monitor testing onboard instead of relying solely on a ground-based telemetry station, unlocking testing at greater distances.
Second prototype of re-engined wide-body airplane Boeing 777X took off for the first time almost 100 days later after the first one.
On April 30th 96 days after the first flight of starting prototype of the newest wide-body airplane B-777-9 (that will accommodate 426 passengers) in the sky above Washington state the second testing aircraft of this type (number WH002, registration number N779XX) took off. Two pilots were on the board. Boeing 777X landed in Seattle.
In flight tests under the program 777X will take part four machines. Airplane WH002 will be used first of all for testing handling capabilities. A lot of equipment, sensors and control devices in entire cabin allow team of engineers to register and estimate airplane’s reaction to test conditions in real time mode, Boeing informed.
777x First Flight Date
Today first prototype of B-777-9 flew almost 100 hours with various trailing edge flaps’ settings, various speeds, altitudes and so on.
Boeing declares that 777X is “the biggest and most fuel efficient wide-body airplane equipped with two engines”. According to the data from company’s web-site the length of the biggest variant of Boeing 777X will make almost 77 meters and may accommodate 426 passengers.
Second Flight Screaming Eagle
Tests of the new airplane fell to the period when corporation goes through crises: in December 2019 was announced suspension of production of the airplane Boeing 737MAX.
