Astazi, cu ocazia prezentarii rezultatelor pentru trimestrul II, Boeing a anuntat ca primul zbor 777X, amanat deja pentru toamna, va avea loc in prima parte a lui 2020.
Motivul: probleme legate de dezvoltarea motoarelor General Electric GE9X. In ciuda acestei intarzieri, Boeing sustine ca intrarea in serviciul comercial a primului 777X va avea loc in 2020. Lufthansa a confirmat ca va receptiona primul exemplar in decembrie 2020, in timp ce Emirates il va primi in ianuarie 2021.
Asa cum ati aflat la momentul respectiv de pe facebook.com/Aeronews.ro si twitter.com/AeronewsRO, GE9X a fost certificat recent drept cel mai puternic motor de avion din lume, fiind totodata si cel mai mare.
VIDEO / Pe 20 iunie, 777X a efectuat primele teste la sol (rulare si franare).

@Boeing confirms 777X slip but still targets 2020 EIS. We predict EIS in 2021 https://t.co/9MLgm7EfzY because @Lufthansa notified their 1st delivery will be Dec 2020 and Emirates Jan 2021. We don't think LH will get the airplane then. Delay due to engines, FAA cert delay to come?
