NEWS: Boeing nears first new 777-9 flight in five years

(Screenshot from @theaircurrent.com's upcoming iOS app and the launch of our new TAC/Intel platform)
Boeing as early as Aug. 5 is expected to make its first maiden flight of a 777-9 in nearly five years, according to two people familiar with the company’s planning. Painted white but earmarked for eventual use by Singapore Airlines, the new fifth test aircraft, registered N2007L, is being tasked with high intensity radiated field (HIRF) testing to evaluate how systems respond to electromagnetic interference. No fewer than 20 production 777-9s sit between this test aircraft and WH004, Boeing’s fourth dedicated test aircraft. WH004 first flew in September 2020 and was placed into extended storage when Boeing returned the aircraft to flying status in May to conduct cabin and environmental control systems testing. The Air Current on July 28 reported Boeing had received clearance from the FAA the previous week to begin the fourth phase of its certification campaign that will focus on systems demonstrations.
