The second of four Boeing #777X test airplanes took to the skies for the first time yesterday. The jet will now start testing handling characteristics as part of our rigorous test program. | The Boeing Company

Boeing 777-9 (WH001/ N779XW) perfomed Velocity Minimum Unstick (VMU) tests at Edwards Air Force Base, demonstrating excellent low-speed performance and outstanding handling qualities. As one of the critical evaluations in the flight test program, the VMU test validates takeoff performance at the lowest safe speed, bringing the 777X another step closer to certification. #Boeing777X #777x #777xVMU #777xtakeoff #ge9x #b777x | Boeing 777X
