LOS ANGELES — Officials from the U.S. Defense Department’s operationally responsive space (ORS) office say an upcoming military utility assessment study of the soon-to-be-launched experimental TacSat-3 satellite will be conducted to help bolster support for the Pentagon’s low-cost spacecraft concept.
Boeing is providing new details about what the 787 and its sister ships will do as part of its upcoming flight test and certification plan, noting that nearly 60% of the documentation required for certification has been submitted to the FAA. Once the flight test effort begins, ZA001 will be used to explore the fundamental aerodynamics and handling qualities envelope. This includes flutter, stability and control, flight controls, major systems work, low-speed handling, including stalls, and checks of the full data system.
Boeing moved the first 787, ZA001, out of the large Everett assembly factory Monday to prepare for the next test phase on the way to upcoming flight tests. The aircraft was moved to the paint hangar, where its livery will be touched up and retreated before the next stage of tests, or “intermediate gauntlet” begins later this week.
