Boeing 001 Experimental

Great story this week in the Seattle Times. It's an update on the flight-test program underway right now for the 777-200LR Worldliner.

This is an amazing airplane, and they're putting it through the full gamut of stall tests, engine shutdowns, you name it. As senior test pilot Capt. Suzanna Darcy-Hennemann puts it, they're going "way beyond where an airline would ever fly the airplane."

If you have any interest at all in the paces our test pilots put new airplanes through, you'll really enjoy reading this piece.
