The Boeing 777X was supposed to be the new King of the Skies. With its massive folding wings and the largest jet engines in history, it was built to replace the legendary 747. But in August 2024, the dream turned into a nightmare.

During a routine inspection in Hawaii, engineers discovered a structural crack in a critical component: the Thrust Link. This discovery grounded the entire test fleet and halted the program.

In this video, we dive deep into the engineering disaster behind the world's most advanced plane. What exactly is a "thrust link"? Why are the massive GE9X engines tearing the plane apart? And with delays pushing the release to 2026 or beyond, has Airbus already won the war?

We cover: ✈️ The anatomy of the structural failure (and why the engine won't fall off). ✈️ The curse of the GE9X engine: Is it too powerful for its own good? ✈️ The risks behind the revolutionary folding wingtips. ✈️ The critical difference between the 777X cracks and the 737 MAX software disaster. ✈️ Why this delay might actually make the plane safer in the long run.
