Boeing’s 737 Max 10 took flight for the first time from the grounds of the company’s narrowbody assembly plant in Renton, Washington, Friday, marking the start of a roughly two-year certification program and ending a four-year interval from the time of the variant’s launch at the 2017 Paris Air Show. Piloted by Boeing 737 chief test pilot Jennifer Henderson and co-pilot Jim Webb, the first Max 10 flew for two hours and 37 minutes before landing at Boeing Field in Seattle at 12:38 pm local time.
