May 26, 2010 | Posted by Editor in Aircraft News No comments

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner made its first landing at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport earlier this week. The fourth 787 to be built, ZA004, is undergoing a short series of tests that require a combination of hot weather and low-altitude conditions. A crew of nearly 75 is supporting the airplane to ensure smooth operations during testing. The stay in Arizona is expected to last only a few days.

The 787 flight test fleet, currently comprised of four airplanes, has logged more than 820 hours of flying in the last six months. Two more airplanes are expected to join the flight test fleet soon.
