The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has now completed all the flight testing required for certification with the FAA.
  • 1700 Flights
  • 4800 Hours
  • 25,000 Test conditions
  • Startup at -42C
  • 100s of Stalls
  • Fierce crosswinds and wet runways
  • Flying at the lowest posible speed to almost the speed of sound
  • Ultimate rejeced takeoffs
  • Tail on the ground to measure mintakeoff speed
Congratulations to the Boeing Dreamliner team, reaching certification for any aircraft development project is an amazing achievement.
