LN 1 has already had it's hydraulics turned on now for some weeks since the end of Farnborough and have tested some of the movable flight surfaces on LN 1 using the activated on board hydraulic system.Ureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277326957559578045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-9209549165938062472008-07-31T02:05:00.000-04:002008-07-31T02:05:00.000-04:00I'm excited to see the 787 move one step closer to...I'm excited to see the 787 move one step closer to first flight! When they cycle the landing gear, will it be via external hydraulics(as I believe I read somewhere they used for oil-on)? When will LN1 begin to pressurize the hydraulics using its on-board pumps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
