Boeing may be entangled in its 737 Max fiasco, but it's earning some wins with its upcoming new flagship widebody, the 777X.
The aircraft, which is based on the classic 777 and will come in two passenger variants started certification flight testing in mid-July.
It is the next step in clearing Boeing's new plane for passenger flights after nearly five years of delays and more than $1 billion in abnormal expenses.
"The certification flight testing will continue validating the airplane's safety, reliability, and performance," a Boeing spokesperson told Business Insider. "We appreciate our regulator's rigorous oversight."
Boeing expects the plane to enter service in 2025, but two major customers have said they expect more delays, possibly to 2026.
The delays have caused problems for aircraft operators because they're still flying older, less efficient planes as they wait for the 777X.
Airlines are eager to replace aging, old-generation widebodies. The 777X, which competes with the rival Airbus A350, boasts an increased range, capacity, and efficiency compared to its predecessors.
The jet's immense size — particularly its wider frame — is one of its best-selling characteristics gives operators some wiggle room regarding the cabin layout.
In July, Boeing showed what passengers can expect onboard, from bigger windows and cabins to mood lighting that resembles the northern lights.

Picking a seat on a plane can often feel like a Goldilocks dilemma to me. That aisle seat that's way up front, so I can get off quickly and not miss my connection, but will likely mean my shoulder gets knocked against each time someone passes by. A window seat that's too far back but is also on the right—and I know I sleep better when I lean in that direction. From the minute I book a flight until the final seconds before boarding, I find myself pulling up the airplane seat map to reassess my options for finding a seat that is “just right.”

Joe Urie, owner of Jasper Tour Company, was looking for coyotes in Jasper National Park when “all of a sudden this fire bursts up.” He called it in, tried to put it out himself, then got back into his tour van and told his passengers, a group of travelers from England, “we gotta go.”
There are several moments in National Anthem—filmmaker and photographer Luke Gilford’s directorial debut—about a 21-year-old day laborer named Dylan, played by Charlie Plummer, who falls in love on a queer ranch, when the camera lingers on trans bodies in the New Mexico desert. In one montage, Sky, played by Eve Lindley, first catches Dylan’s eye while he builds fences and moves bales of hay by posing suggestively on her horse in a sparkly backless tank with the stars and stripes emblazoned on the front. It might seem a little on the nose. It’s certainly not subtle. But this is a movie with things to say about America, and when you’re talking about a country like ours, it’s probably best to go big.
