Boeing has completed the 150% ultimate load test on the 787 static test airframe – ZY997 – inside the 40-23 Building of the company’s Everett factory, the company confirms.
Boeing says it did not exceed 150% loading of the wing during Sunday’s test, which saw the composite wings flexed to a height of 25ft.
