Boeing 777X | Long live the king

The Boeing 777X is a family of long-range wide-body airliners created by Boeing. It is a new generation of model 777. The family is represented by two versions: 777-8 and 777-9.
The new airliners have undergone significant modernization, including upgrades to the onboard systems, interior, and structural materials, as well as an all-new composite wing and super-powerful GE9X engines. Thanks to these solutions, the new airliners significantly surpass their predecessors and have the potential to successfully compete in the market.

BRING BACK THE 747 ! Style, function, power: the 747 will always be Queen of the Skies.

[@baderq8ty99]

i work with aircraft daily and rarely get to work around the 747, it really feels like it's from another time, the sound of 4 engines running at the same time and the sheer size of it (it is lower to the ground than the 777 but is much larger) i'm glad that i get to see the last of these giants before they're gone.

[@JPR3D]

I remember when the first 777s were finishing their testing and starting deliveries, the plane was big news, a major step in commercial aviation and part of the new designs which heralded the true end for 4-engined planes. It's just as well that it turned out to be an excellent airplane, I imagine variants of it will be around for a long time.

I worked for Boeing at the beginning of the 777x, and enjoyed the development - but left just shy of the flight tests. For my work, I am confident that it is structurally sound from the wing forward. and of the wing. The rest I have no knowledge and will depend on my coworkers attention to detail.:)

Wow I've always love Boeing and their products despite of its problems it has with the 737 MAX, boeing made the biggest mistake by merging with McDonnell Douglas and practicing their way of producing and selling aircraft, Boeing was all about quality vs McDonnell was all about quantity and it's bringing Boeing down with it. The 777x is the new ground breaking product for the airlines and I hope it become very successful like the 747 God willing.

I'm thinking if a 747 used 4-777x engines, one of two things would happen. 1. The 747 would easily break the sound barrier. Or 2. The 747 would break apart bc of the stress of the high speed on the plane itself! I'm just being facetious.

[@arthas640]

So from 2011 to 2012? How'd you rack up 19,000 hours? A normal work year is only about 2,100 hours and there are only 8,760 hours in a year so even if you flew 24/7 that would be a little over 2 years and at a standard work schedule that would be about 9 years. This feels like one of those confusing math problems in a test for math class they use to throw you off and make it impossible to get 100% on the test.

[@americanrambler4972]

I think the 777x is an attractive airplane. It’s operational and financial performance however will determine its future longevity and place at the airports of the world. I suspect we are seeing a practical upper limit in aircraft size assert itself due to what is available as a practical limit on external dimensions simply due to available ground real estate available around and on airports. Future aircraft capacity growth will probably depend on developing the shapes and technology to lift and carry more cargo and people within the physical footprint size (wingspan and fuselage length) of the current heavy jets.

Sky, these are top notch documentaries. Very detailed and interesting. I am subscribing today. Thanks for these!

[@bobkataviation3967]

Yeah i don’t know about this plane considering the fact that it has already dealt with issues of body structure test. Not so sure. The last thing they need. We can’t afford anymore air desaster in the skies🤞🏿

[@RazvanMaioru]

The plane was supposed to withstand 150% of the maximum load it was designed for, and during normal operation it'll experience no more than about 50% of that maximum load. During the test, the plane failed at 148% the maximum design load. That's 99% of the test loads, so because of the only 1% difference, the failure was deemed tolerable, and the plane passed. For reference, the A380's wings broke at just 145% during its tests, and the current flying A380s are identical, because they didn't change a thing to get it certified. I'd say the 777X did good enough, considering it did better than the A380 that no one complains about.

@@RazvanMaioru you would have to put the 777X into a nosedive in the middle of a category 5 hurricane for it to reach that stress

I Love those two Gigantic turbo-fans of the triple7, I think those are the biggest in aviation !

[@alecairpaag]

I do love the 777, but I don't want to call it the king yet. In concept, the 777-9X is a great design but it needs to proof itself first. Ask me again in 2030. I'm afraid the markets will continue to become smaller for this size of an airplane and it could become the A380 flop of the year 2035. But, again a huge 777 fan here. I started following aviation in 1994 on the 777's first flight and have followed it's entire history and I'm still fascinated by it. (777-8 flop already... 777-300ER, now we're talking! Doesn't get any sexier than that).

[@theread3480]

The problem with the 747 and A380 in the modern era isn’t their enormous capacity, it’s the fact they use 4 engines, which obviously uses way more fuel than twin engine air liners. The Triple 7x will be a solution to this problem while also being able to serve routes the older triple 7’s were already flying.

[@simonm1447]

@@theread3480 There are still other ,,problems'' with the 380. The wings are one, it's designed for 650 t MTOW, but the -800 has only 560. Because of the needed size (850 sqm) it's aspect ratio (7.8) is too low to be optimal, it should have had 90 m of wing span instead of 80, which costs 10 % of fuel efficiency alone. The -800 should have been never launched with these wings, they should have brought this aircraft as a - 900 or as a -800 with proper, smaller wings for it. The -800 is in this case a shrink (compared to how the structure was designed for), and shrinks are usually inferior in competition.

[@aquaden8344]

Point well taken! Rumor is, that the 777-9 has to be filled with more then 80% of it's max. capacity, what is around 330 passengers, to break even and it has to be full to reach the advertised fuel mileage per seat. It will be attractive for the largest airports, but the rest is going point to point and there the 787 or A350 are a superior solutions. Either there will be a surge in air travel or the 777X is going to be a relict like the A380.

Cartoonman154 . The “ queen of the skies “ will still be plying the airways in 20 yrs time , ok in small numbers . The 777X hasn’t even entered service yet and is not guaranteed to be a success story at all . If it was the “ King “ , how come airlines are deferring deliveries and reviewing the orders . You don’t become a “ king “ overnight , the 777X has to earn its crown , and nothing these days is guaranteed .

I have flown on 777 and 787. They’re big and they pack people in like sardines. The Asian airlines give you more room and provide excellent and courteous service. ✈️

@@Tarheel13 I think the current events have proven you wrong. Boeing is facing an uphill battle due to the missteps they made with the 737Max certification. The 777X program got delayed several times for various reasons and nobody knows, when the plane is ready for commercial use. Until then you, NCTarheel13, best take your meds

Excellent review. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@scottcol23]

the engines on the 777x are just plain INSANE! they look like they could ingest a whole honda accord! I know they cant. As for looks I will always love to look of the 747's. BUT the 787 Dreamliner is beautiful. The swept wings and the way the engines are positioned looks like art.

QANTAS..... The only Airline asked to be involved in the design of the plane - who didn't go on to buy it.

[@jlmarc01]

Dumb CEO and its Project Sunrise

[@aquaden8344]

@@jlmarc01 would you take the risk of a new, unproven design over a solid performer, especially with the constant delays of the 777X program and no certain delivery data? Did you also consider, that the 777X is way heavier then the A350 and QANTAS isn't filling up to full plane capacity, what makes a plane like the 777X inefficient. It might be, that the 777X has not been efficient enough for the requirement of project Sunrise. If you have a cost comparison between 777X and A350 for the project Sunrise scenario, then please post it.
