Boeing preps for ETOPS Tests

Boeing 787

Boeing says the Rolls-Royce-powered 787 is 96% through its test program and will start the final set of ETOPS and functional and reliability tests in June prior to final certification. Commenting at the Boeing Investors conference, Scott Fancher, VP and GM of the 787 program, says the 787 is “approaching entry into service and making great progress.”

The ninth 787 aircraft will be used to undertake a combined ETOPS and functionality and reliability tests phase, the latter of which will take place over 300 hours of flight time, he adds. Fancher says there are “4,200 deliverables” in flight test and certification and “we’re down to 150, and of those less than 40 are needed for submittal to the FAA. We’re in the end game.”
