Boeing took another key step in the certification of the 737 MAX 10, the largest model in the 737 MAX family, by passing the "maximum energy" braking tests (Maximum Brake Energy, MBE) based on Edwards, California. This spectacular test, which consists of stopping an aircraft with a maximum weight of more than 200 mph only with worn brakes, brings a little closer to 737-10 and 737-7 to their expected certification at the end of 2026.
