"Boeing is dedicated to delivering a service-ready 777." T« "We will have a firmer definition of the 777 earlier in its development program than we have had in any pre vious airplane program. Hun dreds of wind tunnel 'flights' and hundreds of CFD studies were completed prior to the program launch. "As a result, we will under stand the stresses the 777 will encounter in flight much earlier in its development program than ever before. "That early, finely focused understanding of structural requirements will enable our engineers to develop a rugged and highly structurally efficient design. "And the 777 test programs will be more comprehensive and more integrated than ever before. One thousand simulated airline flights will be flown by a dedicated 777 before the first airplane is delivered, all in addition to the flight test pro gram supporting certification. "The 777 development program is dedicated to deliv ering an efficient, service-ready airplane, on schedule." Walt Gillette Chief Project Engineer 777 Performance
