Boeing began flight tests of the 747-8 Freighter Monday, with pilots Mark Feuerstein and Tom Imrich taking the third generation of the world’s first widebody jet into the skies one day shy of the 41st anniversary of the series’ first flight. With Feuerstein at the controls and Imrich in the engineering role, the airplane was scheduled to fly a three- to five-hour test of the basic flight envelope as The DAILY went to press. This round is the first of what are expected to be 1,600 hours of flight tests through the end of the year.
Bolstered by a growing demand for design work on the A350, A330F and other models Airbus North America Engineering (ANAE) is set to add 80 new engineering jobs at its Wichita, Kan., site and is ahead of schedule with expansion plans at its Mobile, Ala., facility. In addition, Airbus said the new hires will “allow us to do repair engineering as well — the first time we’ve had that ability in the United States. That office is currently tied in directly with our engineers in the U.K. and will continue to be so.”
Boeing is readying the first 787 for a return to flight with a full crew of test engineers following a post initial airworthiness lay-up at Boeing Field, Seattle.
