Скачать или смотреть Boeing 777X First Flight - No-Go - Taxiing

Raw footage of Boeing's first attempt at first flight for their massive 777X on January 24. Aircraft was supposed to depart at 10AM local time, but because winds had a 20-30 knot tailwind, the flight was scrubbed at 1:30 PM. Made for a long, cold, wet day, but it was great to see this amazing aircraft with power on for my first time.

Many people were upset that it taxied to 34L instead of 16R, which other traffic was using. On a maiden flight, they are required to take off on 34L because the climb out is over the water, and 16R is over highly populated areas. So, it has to be 34L. The maximum tailwind component is 10 kts and during this entire time it was 20+ kts, gusting above 30. Weather may be better the next day, on the 25th.
