Sometimes there are stowaways in the wheel wells, the black dust is merely dis-integrated clothes and body parts.

As the person above commented, there is a brake that stops the tires from rotating before they fully retract. Now i suspect that the black smoke could be carbon dust from the rejected takeoffs performed on the aircraft

B777's engine the Fed Ex is using is GE90-110B1

It is break stopping tire rotating before it enters the gear bay

Great video, love it and btw, body parts? You are awesome!! Have to love a film-maker with a fantastic yet twisted (Quentin Tarantino) sense of humor!!! Big thumbs up!

What is the black smoke when the gear is retracted??

[@TnDon]

It's got to take a bit of courage to pilot an aircraft on its very first flight no matter how many sophisticated diagnostics have been performed on all systems. Clearly smoke comes from a NEW set of brakes on spin arresting before stowing in wheel wells. Also, does anybody know if this plane is equipped with GE90-110 or GE90-115 engines? There seems to be confusing information concerning the GE90 version(s) available for both the 777F and the 777-200LR.

i think the plane farted on its way up 1:32, and the bike noise in the background dont help! :))
