LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Air Force’s second X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV-2) has landed after 469 days in space, more than double the time clocked by the OTV-1. As with the first OTV flight, the Air Force remains secretive about the mission, saying only that the Boeing-built X-37B conducted “on-orbit experiments.” In a short statement, it says the vehicle provides “return capability” that allows the Air Force to test new technologies without the same risk faced by other programs.

Airframe makers know a smooth entry-into-service is just as vital to encouraging new sales as a botched one is to putting them off. All the more reason for Boeing to be watching the debut of its 747-8 with Lufthansa with hawk-like attention as it pursues much-needed new orders for the stretched passenger model.
