This is the one that ain't gonna fly right? Seems odd to me that they'd
spend all that money to build a plane that will never leave the ground.


They build'em for static testing on the ground and abuse them unkindly, pull
wings till they snap (there was a program about 777 testing on Discovery
Channel), shake'em/bake'em, all kinds of bad things, so they don't happen to
real planes. By the time they're done with that airframe, it'll be in such a
poor shape, you'd think twice about trying to tow it out of the hangar, so
forget about taking to the air.
