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.

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.

On May 16, 1958, Captain Eli Beeding Jr. survived a peak force of 82.6 Gs while aboard a rocket sled to test the limits of human endurance at Holloman Air Force Base.⁠ ⁠ The massive deceleration during water-brake braking caused him to briefly lose consciousness and resulted in significant bruising; however, surprisingly, he suffered no permanent injuries.

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.

How did one of the most durable bombers ever built go from a routine test flight to a fireball in the desert?🤔 A B-52 Stratofortress took off from Edwards Air Force Base on June 15, 2026, during a radar modernization test meant to extend its service life into the 2050s. The takeoff looked normal, but just seconds after liftoff—at only a few hundred feet the aircraft suddenly lost control, pitched downward, and crashed into the desert near the runway.

🚨Air accident in California: #B_52 bomber crashes minutes after takeoff Edwards Air Force Base in #California announced on Monday that a U.S. B-52 Stratofortress bomber crashed shortly after takeoff, in an incident whose causes and circumstances are still under investigation. The base said in a statement posted on its Facebook page that the US Air Force plane crashed after taking off from Edwards Airport at 11:20 a.m. local time, adding that emergency teams rushed immediately to the scene to deal with the situation. The statement added that investigations are still underway to determine the causes of the accident, without disclosing further details regarding the circumstances that led to the plane crash. The fate of the crew remains unknown. So far, US authorities have not announced whether the incident resulted in any injuries or casualties, while local media are seeking additional information from the military base command. Edwards Air Force Base is located in the Mojave Desert in California, about 160 kilometers north of Los Angeles, and is one of the most important military air testing centers in the United States. Edwards Air Force Base is used by the U.S. Air Force and NASA to conduct experiments and tests on new aircraft and prototypes under development, making it a strategic hub for advanced aerospace programs. What is a B-52 Stratofortress bomber? The B-52 Stratofortress bomber is one of the most famous military aircraft in the world. It first entered service during the 1950s and remains a key component of the US Air Force to this day. The aircraft was designed by Boeing and is capable of performing long-range missions and carrying conventional and nuclear weapons over long distances. She also participated in many of the military operations and conflicts fought by the United States over the decades, from the Vietnam War to the war on Iran. The bomber typically carries a crew of five and is known for its ability to remain in service for extended periods, thanks to the continuous upgrades it has undergone over the years.

HORRIFIC: The first victim identified in the tragic Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber crash at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Monday has been named as Lt. Col. Miles Middleton (retired), a former commander of the 419th Flight Test Squadron. After retirement, Middleton worked as a Boeing test pilot, where he was actively involved in the B-52 modernization programs, including radar upgrades and engine replacement efforts. He was flying on the routine test mission in that civilian capacity when the aircraft went down. “Pam Middleton and her two children are facing an unimaginable loss after Pam’s husband, Miles, was tragically killed in the crash of the B-52 at Edwards Airforce Base. As a family friend, I’ve witnessed firsthand the strength and resilience Pam has shown, but the road ahead is filled with uncertainty and challenges,” a GoFundMe established for the family read. Awful!

BOEING HAS QUIETLY SCRAPPED ONE OF ITS EARLIEST-BUILT 777-9 AIRCRAFT As first reported by The Air Current, Boeing has dismantled WH007 (Line No. 1611), the seventh Boeing 777-9 ever built, after the aircraft sat undelivered at Everett since 2019. The jet, originally destined for Emirates as A6-EZT, even rolled out with its folding wingtips painted in Emirates' livery. Instead of being delivered, it was reportedly disassembled in late summer 2025 due to the extensive and costly modifications required to bring it up to the final certified design standard. The aircraft later formed part of the billions of dollars in charges Boeing has accumulated on the delayed 777X program. Every aircraft built before certification must undergo "change incorporation"—a process of retrofitting already-assembled airframes to match the final certified configuration. Boeing has around 40 already-built 777X aircraft requiring these complex reworks, and reports indicate that some customers are reluctant to accept the earliest-build airframes because of the amount of modification involved. WH007 ultimately became the first known 777-9 to be scrapped before ever entering commercial service. 📹: SkyEye787
