Boeing suspends 777X flight tests after part failure

By Redoy K

Boeing has suspended flight testing of its new 777X wide-body jet due to a component failure connecting the engine to the aircraft body. This setback adds to Boeing’s ongoing quality control issues. The 777X program, already delayed to 2025, is undergoing inspections. Despite recent troubles, including leadership changes and financial losses, Boeing has seen a rebound in orders, particularly for its 737 MAX aircraft. Reuters
