This thin fragile structure was used for taxing characteristics for B777,

I believe this was made with the then yet to be manufactured B777-300

in mind.

In Carl Sava's Book 'Boeing 777-Twenty First Century Jet', there is a

small joke about this test bed:(something along the line of~)

'What is written on the frame of this thing?'

'Oh! It says A350.'
