ToBeHuman Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Cool video about Boeing 777 that mentions Alan Mullally, doesn't really have anything to do with Ford but really cool video. They are stress testing the wings of a 777 by bending them till they break. YouTube 777 Wing Test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 that is a pretty interesting video... he sure looks younger-wait a few years at Ford and see how that will age him....kind of like Clinton and Bush-the job is just so stressful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnFan Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Wow. Alan looked 30 to 40 in that video. It's only 12 years ago and it looks like he aged 30 years in that while. Edited July 8, 2007 by LincolnFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Martin Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Great Video. I'm actually playing a small part in this same test for the 787. Let's hope those composite wings hold up just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_sallad Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 yeah, i figured this thread was a typo, i would've expected something about the 787 wings instead. Have fun with those, Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
