RTO-ul a avut loc ieri, 8 august, si face parte din testele la sol pe care primul Boeing 777-9 de uzina (N779XW, WH001) le efectueaza aproape zilnic in aceasta saptamana.
Din cauza unor probleme cu motoarele GE9X – cele mai mari si mai puternice din lume regasite la un avion comercial, lucru certificat de Cartea Recordurilor – primul zbor 777X a fost amanat pana in prima parte a anului viitor. Daca procesul de certificare a noului widebody Boeing nu va suferi si alte intarzieri, Lufthansa ar trebui sa primeasca primul 777-9 in decembrie 2020, iar Emirates in ianuarie 2021.
