Overview

Pratt and Whitney race to meet testing and production deadlines for the 777's engines. Dramatic test footage of bird strikes and "blade out" tests in which the engine is deliberately destroyed mark progress toward the engine's certification for public use. But a backfire tests the companies' relationship. The high speed taxi test is the last one needed for the 777 to leave the ground.
