This incredible video shows a Boeing 777X enduring a crosswind test in Texas.

And the conditions are so extreme that you almost cannot believe your eyes.

The aircraft underwent crosswind testing back during March 2025, in the Texan town of Lubbock.

The team endured incredibly extreme winds of 40-60 knots (46-69mph).

But the test proved the aircraft’s ability to take off, land, and maneuver under intense conditions.
