Boeing's first 787, ZA001, is two days into its planned seven-day intermediate gauntlet test that will test integrated functions of the aircraft systems while fooling the aircraft into believing it is flying, the company confirms.
The testing got underway Friday evening and rolled into Saturday morning, according to Aviation Week.
