BOEING has been forced to ground its whole fleet of 777X test planes after cracks were found in the structure.
A routine inspection reportedly found several cracks on one of the aircraft in the area that connects the wings and the engines.

After more planes were inspected two more test flights were found to have cracks in the assembly.
Boeing has previously labelled the 777X as one of their most state-of-the-art aircraft after years of development.
The Federal Aviation Administration recently cleared Boeing to conduct 777X certification test flights. Boeing has notified the FAA of the faults discovered on three of its four test aircraft.
