787 First Flight Video

[C601]

It already did that.

Boeing completed limit load testing which flexed the wings on another 787 to a deflection of over 17 feet (120-130%), considerably exceeding the test requirement which only called for the wing to be flexed to 100% of limit loads a 787 would encounter in service.

The certification requirement is 150%. This test is scheduled to occur in January or February. If it does not get to 150% it does not get certified.

That was a half span engineering test.

They were working up to the full scale 150% certification test but they had a failure at the fuselage join and had to do some re-engineering.

The 150% certification test has not yet taken place.
