This Boeing 777-300ER forgot it was a plane and ‘drifted’ down the runway in one of the harshest tests an airliner has ever been put through.
Before every release of these huge airplanes, the aviation behemoth conducts a number of fascinating trials to make sure they are as safe as possible.
One of those tests puts the ‘Rejected Takeoff’ emergency tool to work, putting the 350-ton planes to an immediate halt and seeing how well the brakes can operate.
In this case, the Boeing 777-300ER shows how the plane’s emergency features can cause the plane to begin drifting, just as you can see in the video above, from Boeing.
