747-8 successfully completed high-speed taxi tests on the first 747-8 Intercontinental today. This is the last test in a series of functional tests planned in preparation for first flight.
During the testing, the airplane reached a top speed of approximately 90 knots (103 mph, 167 kph), and the pilots lifted the nose gear from the pavement.
747-8 soon gets FAA certification!
