Boeing testing 787s around U.S., in Iceland
Saturday, September 4, 2010
EVERETT – Boeing Co. says four of its five 787 flight test planes are far from their Seattle base this week at locations ranging from Arizona to Iceland.
One 787 is conducting cold-weather and crosswind testing at Keflavik, Iceland, while the first 787 to fly — ZA001 — is in Roswell, N.M., to test performance when the plane has to abort a takeoff.
A third 787 is in Yuma, Ariz., for hot-weather tests and the fourth is off to Glascow, Mont., to check how it performs when artificial ice shapes are attached to its wings and tail. The fifth plane continues to work out of Seattle.
