According to recent news reports from CNN and FlightGlobal, the debut flight test of the Boeing 777X jetliner has been postponed after the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX 8 passenger aircraft operated by Ethiopian Airlines on March 10.
Boeing said on Twitter last week that the 777X would debut on Wednesday, March 13. The company has not officially announced a reschedule of the launch.
The 777X, called by Boeing “the largest and most efficient twin-engine jet in the world,” features all-carbon fiber composite wings, as covered previously by CW when Boeing began production of the aircraft.
