Since I have witnessed the whistleblowers’ senate testimonys, I am selective not to fly 737-800 max and 777-9 anymore. Boeing was my favorite aircraft producer once. Pitty!

I hope it is not the same kind of certification you did for the Max

A force de se focaliser logiquement sur les pb de qualité prod #737MAX et retour des spationautes, on en a oublié ce bon vieux #Boeing 777-9. This post was voluntarily written in French. French is still an aerospace language. @Airbus @YBarille @G_Steuer

First flight! ✈️ The first 777-9 airplane for Lufthansa flew ahead of certification testing. The airline is one of the 777X launch customers. Boeing pilots Capt. Ted Grady and Capt. Jake Miller flew a three-hour, 27-minute profile over Washington and Oregon, completing a standard flight designed to test the airplane’s systems and structures. Thank you to Lufthansa for choosing the 777X family! More:

The Federal Aviation Administration has cleared Boeing to move the 777-9 into Phase 4A of certification testing. This marks a major step forward, with more systems now ready for real-world air & ground evaluations. Next up: Phase 4B → Phase 5 → ETOPS & reliability trials before delivery.

NEW UPDATE: The Federal Aviation Administration has approved Boeing to proceed with TIA Phase 4B certification testing for the 777X, unlocking the largest remaining portion of flight test work needed for type certification. According to Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope, the authorization enables expanded testing in avionics, stability and control, and human factors—key final areas before certification. Pope noted this is the last major TIA phase, though not yet complete, with the FAA still requiring extensive additional test points before type certification is issued. The 777-9 campaign, now years behind schedule, has been slowed by multiple technical issues and heightened FAA scrutiny following the 737 MAX crisis, with certification now targeted for next year at the earliest.

SOUTHWEST CEO SAYS BOEING 737 MAX 7 CERTIFICATION LIKELY AROUND AUGUST 2026 Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan expects the long-delayed Boeing 737 MAX 7 to be certified around August 2026, with the airline planning to launch operations in Q1 2027. Boeing is ramping up MAX production, but certification of the MAX 7 and MAX 10 remains delayed by an engine de-icing issue. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg also expects both models to be certified in 2026.

NEW ISSUE HITS BOEING 777X PROGRAM Boeing has identified a new durability issue affecting the GE9X engines powering the long-delayed 777-9, adding to the program’s ongoing technical challenges. The issue was discovered during a recent engine inspection and confirmed by Boeing during its full-year earnings briefing. Boeing says it is working closely with GE Aerospace, which has launched an on-wing inspection program while the root cause is analyzed and corrective actions are defined. Boeing has not disclosed the specific components involved but emphasized that certification flight testing continues and the current flight test campaign remains unaffected. CEO Kelly Ortberg stated that the company does not expect the issue to delay entry into service, which is still targeted for 2027. Originally planned to enter service in 2020, the 777-9 has faced repeated delays due to certification hurdles and technical findings.

This is one of the most punishing certification tests any airliner must survive - Rejected Takeoff (RTO) For certification, Boeing accelerates the 777 to just below V1 at around 775,000 lb (351 tons), then cuts thrust and applies maximum braking. The airplane has seconds to go from full power to a complete stop. The sideways drift comes from pure physics: enormous inertia, uneven tire grip, and an anti-skid system riding the edge of a skid. Brake temperatures spike until they glow, and fuse plugs in the wheels are designed to let the tires deflate safely if they get too hot.

NEW: The FAA has launched an investigation after part of a Delta Boeing 737 wing broke off during an Orlando to Austin flight. One passenger said she felt bad turbulence during the flight before she noticed the broken wing. "The plane was shaking. The lady in front of us opened the window and told us it is broken. I opened the window and got scared," said Shanila Arif to CNN. Delta has since responded to the incident. "After DL 1893 landed safely and without incident in Austin, it was observed that a portion of the left wing’s flap was not in place." "We apologize to our customers for their experience as nothing is more important than the safety of our people and customers."

Boeing 777-9 undergoing VMU (Velocity Minimum Unstick) testing. This certification test determines the minimum speed at which the aircraft can safely take off. During the test, the jet accelerates to takeoff speed and is pitched to its maximum angle of attack until the tail drags on the ground. The exact moment it lifts off defines the VMU, with the tail protected by a temporary skid.
