Boeing today showcased the 777X, their newest and largest widebody jet, currently under flight testing. The new jet is expected to be entering service in 2023.
Boeing’s First Flight of the 777X could not happen second day in a row, because of the inclement weather. Boeing will try to fly the aircraft again on January 25, 2020.
The new Boeing CEO, David Calhoun, made his first press remarks in a conversation with a select set of journalists. He answered questions on the delay of the 737 MAX, the upcoming 777X programme and the NMA project. I summarise for you the outcome.
The Boeing 777X is going to take to the skies for the first time on January 23, 2020, establishing a series of test flights that will eventually help the plane get certification in the days ahead for a 2021 Entry into Service.
