Boeing: 777X WH002 First Flight

A Boeing 777-9, tail number WH002, comes in for a landing at Boeing Field after its first flight in Seattle, Washington on April 29, 2020. The airliner is the second of four prototypes to begin test flights for the company. Boeing resumed the 777X flight test campaign last week after it was suspended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Boeing 777X, an enlarged version of the 777 with the world’s largest jet engines and composite wings with folding wingtips, is expected to enter service in 2021.
