As long as they don't pull a GTF out of their hat they should be ok.

I've been out of the loop, is the GTF STILL having problems?

Towards the end of last year they were having vibration issues at high power settings, and some were seeing corrosion problems.

777-9 rejected takeoff test.

Interesting to watch the folding wingtips drop into place during the taxi then pull back up RIGHT after the test

They set them to fold as soon as they dropped below a certain speed, so they'll be fully folded when they turn off the runway. It shows in this test.

Yeah don't want to miss that part of the checklist either way.

WH001 started engine testing with the flight ready GE9X engines mounted. They also performed VHF testing today, with more engine tests tonight. They may begin taxi tests again by this week.
