Boeing completed the ultimate load test on the static test 787 airframe, ZY997, at Everett on March 28. The test — officially dubbed Condition 18b — evaluated the ability of the wing-body structure to sustain loads equal to 150% of the design limit load, and represents the most extreme forces ever expected to be seen in service. Its clearance also marks the passing of a significant hurdle on the way to FAA certification.
