“During final load testing on the 777X static test airplane, the team encountered an issue that required suspension of the test,” Boeing spokesman Paul Bergman said in a statement. “Overall testing is continuing,” Bergman said. The test occurred on Thursday, he said, declining to provide other details of the incident.
In final load testing, planes are subjected to loads and stresses that are well beyond normal operational conditions, the spokesman said, adding that the incident is under review.
