The original feed shows it holding at the end of the runway due to inclement weather. It thrilled us by unfolding the wing tips but now has been standing there for maybe 40 minutes. Hope the gate agents are making alternate arrangements for passengers with connecting flights!
Re: Boeing Deception: 777X Wing Actually Elongated 787 Wing
Yeah the weather definitely is not being kind to them. The forecast is for winds 12 gusting to 22 knots but the current observation is 22 gusting to 33 and it just keeps getting worse.

Just advised 1633 EST that they'll cancel the test and return to the delivery center due to winds exceeding the limit.
Re: Boeing Deception: 777X Wing Actually Elongated 787 Wing
I believe that the northbound take off is due to safety reasons related to what you'd be overflying.Watching now... what a sight!

Anxiously waiting for Verbie to start making rude, immature drawings.

Update: It landed uneventfully and without obvious signs of in-flight structural break-up.
Love the nice, vintage T-33 chase aeroplanie.

That pic illustrates one of the nastiest things about riding a 777: If you are seated around the wing, it is hard to see downward at all- the big dihedral upsweep keeps you from seeing down at all...just look up into the bright sky.
BUT, it's pretty to look at from the outside, and I assume very capable of spraying jet fuel on school yards, If they could only equip it with really loud engines, they'd have something.

FAA Certifies World's largest jet engine for commercial use
Boeing's new 777X has flown over a key hurdle to carrying passengers now that the Federal Aviation Administration has certified the enormous jet engine developed to power the wide-body airliner. General Electric announced on Monday that the FAA had officially blessed the GE9x, the largest commercial jet engine ever built.
"There is no substitute that can achieve the combination of size, power and fuel efficiency of the GE9X," GE Aviation CEO John Slattery said in a statement. "This engine will deliver unsurpassed value and reliability to our airline customers."
Boeing didn't release its own statement on the news, but in a tweet reply to GE on Monday it said, "Great work and congratulations to your team!"
The stats on the 90x are impressive. Composed of 16 blades, its fan has a diameter of 134 inches -- almost as wide as a Boeing 737 fuselage -- and delivers 110,000 pounds of thrust at takeoff, or about twice the power of two engines on an early 747.
GE also says the GE9x will be the quietest GE engine ever produced while delivering 10% lower fuel consumption. Parts of the engines are made from composite materials including some turbine blades, which are 3D printed by Italian company Avio Aero.
But the GE9x also dogged development for the 777x, the first commercial aircraft with fold-up wingtips. At the 2019 Paris Air Show, Boeing said excessive wear inside the engine forced the company to postpone the 777x's first flight.
The airliner, which can carry between 384 to 436 passengers depending on the configuration, finally flew for the first time in January. Though originally targeted to start carrying passengers next year, entry into service is now scheduled for 2022.
