Boeing 777x

Boeing has suspended flight testing of its new 777X wide-body jet after identifying the failure of a part connecting the engine to the body of the aircraft, the latest in a long line of quality control issues for the troubled US aerospace giant.

Following months of delay, Boeing plans the first flight for its new long-range 777X on Thursday, two people with knowledge of the matter said Tuesday.
