Reverse thrust is one of the most visible and audible parts of the arrival.
Boeing 777X must be certified to stop without any reverse thrust under FAA and EASA rules.
KEY POINTS
- Boeing performed a maximum-energy rejected takeoff test at Edwards AFB with fully worn brakes, no reversers.
- Wet runway testing for the 777X will include reverse thrust in some scenarios, unlike dry runway certification.
- The 777X braking system features new Safran technology, including titanium torque tubes and oxidation protection.
- Boeing's 777X certification has now advanced to the fourth out of five FAA testing phases.
