None of these airplanes have undergone factory gauntlet (2-6), some don't even have their engines on yet.<br /><br />I suspect that airplane 2 will move to building 40-24 soon after airplane 1 has been moved out to the flightline.<br /><br />All airplanes have to go through a series of tests before flying this is true regardless if they're test airplanes or production airplanes though the length of testing will probably be shorter as each test airplanes goes through the process due to increased confidence in the systems and hte results.Ureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277326957559578045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-91759642806672508502009-04-24T10:20:00.000-04:002009-04-24T10:20:00.000-04:00Uresh,

All eyes are on plane A0001 but there are five to follow and it would be interesting to know what their status is.<br /><br /> When will AO002 follow A0001 on to the flightline?<br /><br /> Will the tesing of all six planes be the same, or do the next five have less testing because systems were previously tested?<br /><br /> How many of them are actually in factory gauntet testing at this time?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-82405560947618411372009-04-22T14:02:00.000-04:002009-04-22T14:02:00.000-04:00That's correct, I'll change it to reflect the corr...That's correct, I'll change it to reflect the correct phrase.Ureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277326957559578045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-76494571529154327472009-04-22T05:15:00.000-04:002009-04-22T05:15:00.000-04:00Sorry to be pedantic, but the term is "limit load"...Sorry to be pedantic, but the term is "limit load" as Jon used, not "load limit" as you've paraphrased, and this has a specific meaning in relation to certifying aircraft. "Limit load" is the actual expected maximum load - for the wing bend test equivalent to 2.5G. "ultimate load" is then limit load multiplied by the factor of safety - in this case 1.5.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
