瞧这进度，现在是两架787轮流试飞

Flying high again

At 9:09 Tuesday morning, Seattle time, a beautiful sight rose into the clouds above Paine Field.

ZA002, our second flight test Dreamliner, flew for the first time.

This first flight for Airplane #2 lasted just a tad over 2 hours, and touched down at Boeing Field.

For this second Dreamliner flight, Captain Randy Neville was at the controls and Chief Pilot Mike Carriker was co-pilot. They took the airplane to 13,000 feet (3,962 m) and an airspeed of 200 knots, or about 230 miles (370 km) per hour.

As V.P. and general manager of the 787 Program, Scott Fancher said, getting two of the six flight test airplanes in the air before the end of the year “gives us a solid footing” as we head into a very busy flight test program in 2010.
