I thought the visuals were stunning and well done!

[@jeanwhitehead1064]

The Boeing 777x is certainly a serious competitor in the market and the folding wings are absolutely genius

[@Curious-Minds]

A350 is a better aircraft. 777x is a "Johnny come late to the party"

[@jeanwhitehead1064]

By the time the 777x is finally ready for delivery Airbus will already be another step ahead

[@Curious-Minds]

Also, consider that its election year next year in the US, that means they'll release the super covids, lock every one down, and that's the end of the 777x. (My wild speculation)

[@AviationRepublic]

The folding wings are indeed a master stroke. It's obvious when you think about it.

[@AviationRepublic]

I love a good conspiracy as much as the next person.

[@AbuPaul]

I heard a lot of noise about the 777X but you're the first to tell me why it's so special and so advanced, and that modernized interior. I will certainly fly on one. An LAX to LHR round trip would do!

[@AviationRepublic]

It'll be even more special if they manage to wheel her out soon. We are all waiting.

[@Snarge22]

For across ocean travel I think the 787 and Airbus equivalents are the sweet spot. While smaller carrying fewer passengers, it's a less risky purchase when it comes to filling seats. I think the 777x and any equivalent is a niche market and don't see sales of this airplane coming anywhere near original 777 sales.

[@Curious-Minds]

Wow, the BAC 1-11, theres a plane i have not heard of for a while. I recall flying on those when i was a kid hoing on hols.

[@AviationRepublic]

The BAC 1-11 is an icon of an aircraft. I am planning to make a video covering this aircraft soon.

[@pmfx65]

The B777 is a plane from the 1980ies and some polish will not change that. The A350 is a modern concept from 2005. And where is this B777x in which century will it be finally delivered to customers?

[@AviationRepublic]

We can only sit and wait for Boeing to deliver on their promise.

The 777X will be a great addition to many fleets, but it won't be an A350 killer by any stretch. It has proven itself to be a great aircraft, but airlines will order based on their needs and what works best for them. Just more competition, that's all.

[@AviationRepublic]

I am looking forward to seeing how the various airlines will configure their cabins.

[@patrickpeters2903]

Airfrance/KLM avoided Boeing planes for the renewal of their widebodies...only A350

[@TacticaLLR]

@@patrickpeters2903KLM has multiple 787’s. And so does airfrance.

[@joelcalmet5710]

First : concorde is not only an English plane. She was Anglo-French and the first fly was done at Toulouse Sud Aviation facility in France. Second : A350 never pretends be a B777 challenger. Her size is between B787 & B777. Third : as Emirates frequent flyer I flown both B777 & A380. The B777 is a noisy, inconfortable shaker compare to the A380. Reason why Emirat’s passangers plebicited A380 and Emirates keep them. The A350 is like the A380, a smooth, quite and confortable plane witch is plebicited too. It’s like you are flying a cloud. Actuelly the true « dreamliner ». Fourth : this isn’t because you built a massive plane that she will be good for the passangers. Confort inside depends not only on cabin forbichment but also on noise reduction and low vibrations. Fifth : Big engine, first in power, but what about others systems as électric, hydraulic, controls etc…? Are their evolutive ? What’s news ? The folding winglets ? It’s pathétique. There are doing something which can cause more issues than another plane. This is not an Navy F18 with an ejectable seat for the pilot. If they can’t deploy them : « sorry we have 24 h delay due to the wings » or « sorry we can’t be at the gate because we can’t folder tips wings… »🤣 Forethemore if one of them folds in flight. 😱 Don’t say it’s impossible. It was impossible to unlocked reverse in flight but that occured on a Lauda Air B767 and it was impossible to have a loss of control with a MCAS…. so… It’s normal that Boeing make his propaganda but it seems more in challenger position than as a leader… or a killer.

[@AviationRepublic]

Fair enough regarding the Concorde statement, But I want the UK to take all the credit :-) Regarding your other points, I have made a note of them all and will take them into account when making additional videos on this subject. The folding wings point you made is valid, it would be interesting know what the fail safe measures are should the wingtips fail to fold, if they fold in flight, well, that's another thing that would be interesting to know what fail safes they have in place to prevent this and what would happen if the wing tips actually did fold in flight. Thank you for the detailed comment, really, really appreciated.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

A winglet isn’t going to fold in flight. I’m sure, once down, there is a lockout in place. But if for some reason, it does fold during flight, the airplane would just continue to fly. Probably would have to fly at a lower altitude and burn more fuel. But it wouldn’t really upset the aircraft.

[@AviationRepublic]

The airline would have to issue new underwear to all passengers.

[@RickTheClipper]

If not, the new Boeing quality management will take care of the first, technical issue to happen soon. Fly Airbus, see the world, Fly Boeing see the next one

[@AviationRepublic]

Haahaa, Jeez, that's dark. 25 years from now and we will all be flying COMAC ;-)

[@curtbowers7817]

Yes Airbus A380 $250 billion boondoggle is dead! Beat Boeing! Beat Americans! Nuf said

@@AviationRepublic I seriously doubt that,, or better with the same energy I am avoiding Boeing planes since 737 MAX or produced after the MyDonald Douglas merge or made in Alabama, I will boycott Comac. I prefer to spend some time waiting for an Airbus, than to wait to eternity in a coffin

[@clivesoper8864]

The 777X will not fail, however the questions on everybody’s lips are, will it enter service in 2025? And how successful will it be? The 777X is a derivation of a 33 year old aircraft designed in the second half of the 1980’s, technology has moved on a pace since those days and even the radically updated 777X hasn’t caught up with the later technology of the 787 nor the A350 so given an equal size A350 and 777X the Airbus or indeed the 787 will be the more efficient airframe by some 10 to 15%. The 777 has size on its side over the A350 currently as it has the more modern engine marginally, however, Airbus have been extremely quite on wide body developments since the A330NEO and the A350 must be coming up for a re-boot, (NEO) and possibly even a stretch with a 1200 version all with new engines which would leave the 777 trailing. I wouldn’t bet that the 777 will finally enter service in 2025 in any sort of numbers, maybe one or two to save face but the real service entry will be 2026, will it be successful? It’s already sold over 400 units but personally I don’t think its going to kick either the 787 nor the A350 into the weeds, maybe sales of 800 units, which is hardly lethargic but by Boeings and Airbuses standards certainly below par.

[@AviationRepublic]

Thank you for your comment, that's a lot to consider. You have given me a fair amount to consider for future videos. A stretched version of the A350 is an interesting idea.

[@felix1862]

I wonder if the concord will ever make a comeback!

[@AviationRepublic]

Not Concorde itself, but certainly super sonic civilian airliners. The issue was always the "Sonic Boom", People on the ground hated it and therefore governments around the world restricted Concorde's ability to fly supersonic over their territories. There are a few aviation companies that are trying to overcome the issues now.

[@stuartlee6622]

I'm waiting for the Boom Overture!

[@jonatkinson1971]

All Airbus need to do is stretch the A350 and its done for. The 777 is a generation behind, even with new wings & engines. The 777-9 is 30 tons heavier than the A350-1000 despite only being 9 feet longer. Time to ditch the old school aluminium fuselage which still uses bits from the 767 parts bin.

[@RaulWong-v1z]

Yes I’m planing to fly on the 777X👍✅😊

[@ReneChewbaka]

Hi Joe just a courtesy correction. The Back-111 should be the BAC-111.

[@AviationRepublic]

Thank you, much appreciated.

[@andrewtaylor7203]

Can't wait to see it, very much doubt I'll actually get to fly one one - didn't see easyjet in that list of orders 😂

[@AviationRepublic]

Squeezey Jet should buy a few of these to take us all to Magaluf and Torremolinos

[@sanandaallsgood673]

What wasn't mentioned here is that airlines/lessors seldom pay full price for a plane based on the number of orders, so listed price is irrelevant.

[@AviationRepublic]

True, very true. I'll add that into the next video.

[@michaelosgood9876]

To answer your 'title'. No. The 777 airframes will be much, much heavier than the equivalent A350 design

[@michaelandmariedownes6070]

No matter what the aircraft manufacturers trot out for the beautiful interiors, you can be rest assured that the airlines will bring us all back to reality by installing high density uncomfortable seating. Remember that the 777 originally came out in 9 abreast seating, now 10 wide. Heck the new A350 for Philipine airlines is going to be 10 abreast - yikes, no thanks !!

[@thegimliglider]

dont the airlines will have the same problem as with the A380?

[@brianpawlowski6498]

The L10-11 was a better built aircraft and should have been the preferred aircraft over the DC-10. Although the 777-9 may be a better build, if Boeing cannot get it to market as promised, it won't matter. Airlines will need a readily available aircraft to adjust their long haul fleets. Those that use the 747-8 or the A380 will need a replacement sooner rather than later.

[@dannycrooks8462]

Boeing needs to up its quality control Boeing has lost the trust of the public the way it handled the 737max accidents

[@AviationRepublic]

Is it possible that they have maybe learnt the lessons from the 737MAX incidents?, we can only hope they have.

[@nickolliver3021]

Why should Boeing need to up its quality control as they have lost trust of the public the way it handled the max accidents?

[@goldmembership9063]

No airbus made the a380 in response to the 787. The a380 is a fatter 787😂😂😂

[@allenahale1]

You want to build a better airliner - build better bathrooms in it. The A350 bathrooms come no where close to the B787 but there is plenty of room (pun intended) for improvement for the B787.

[@AviationRepublic]

I have never really thought about that. That gives me a good idea for a video.

[@fin.maymusic]

[@Islandvanisle]

I think the Boeing 777X and the airbus A350 are both good

[@NathanDean79]

Yes I flew on a DC-10 In around the year 2002 from Detroit to Paris. Don’t remember much about out the flight because I was drunk as a skunk lol.

Probably best considering the DC10 record of doors blowing off.

[@johnmartinez5472]

it’s a very important aircraft

[@thom_lm6297]

777-900 = 747 Max

[@MichaelMiller-ti8og]

Yes

[@TankEnMate]

The 777X is just an iteration of the 777, it's not something designed to be more luxurious than the A350. To quote Bill Clinton "It's the economy stupid." It's about spending the least amount of money (Boeing's free cash flow over the last 4 years has been in the toilet) to improve carriers' Cost Per Available Seat Kilometre (CASK, or it's brother CASM (for the US imperial units)). The second biggest factor is flexibility to be able to use aircraft for different markets (business vs leisure) efficiently. And lastly commonality (which Boeing far lags Airbus, as each of its airframes has greater differences compared to Airbus's commonalities), but this less of a factor outside of some MRO savings (pilot training even less so).

[@AviationRepublic]

Thank you for your insights, very interesting, I have made a note of them, I might use your points in a future video.

[@GymGuy817JasonEuless]

Thank you for the great video! Just a little side item to help you in your future videos: The plural of aircraft is always aircraft, not aircrafts. It’s just one of those words like deer.

Airbus is the new giant, fewer airlines want Boeing aircraft as quality has slipped.

[@AviationRepublic]

What you think about COMAC?

[@obelic71]

We must be fair Boeing FUBARED big in the aviation industry due to building bad products recently. Just look at again a new quality problem of faulty rear pressure bulkheads on the 737 and 787 hulls. Bean counting instead of the world famous Boeing quality enginering is the achillesheel of current Boeing! The term "if its not a Boeing i am not going" has required a very sour taste since the 737 max program Lots of 737Max's and 787's are grounded, delayed or broke down way more often then usual. Loyal Boeing customers still waiting on long delayed already ordered 737's and 787's or wanted to order them opted out and bought Airbus A220's and A350's Boeing HAS to get its act togheter on the 777X program. The 777F is a really high demand aircraft in the very near future because of the expensive to operate 747-300/400F's. Also lots of 747 BCF's (converted from passenger to freighter at Boeing) are will reach their maximum of pressure cycels before a full in hull inspection / restoration is needed.

[@afterhourshotrods6882]

Folding wingtips on a commercial airliner!? Not a good idea! The preventative maintenance on that system alone is going to be very problematic! And if Spirit areo systems keeps screwing up on building both Airbus & Boeing fuselages then neither company will have to worry about each other they'll both be broke ass aircraft manufactueres with an inferior product to sell!!!!!

[@AviationRepublic]

I thought the same, but we can consider that there are naval aircraft with folding wingtips which endure higher G-Loading. I may be wrong, but time will tell.

[@MR-th1nf]

The tips are German made

[@dannycrooks8462]

It's outdated and it's not even in service yet it's not a new plane the cockpit is outdated the airbus is years ahead

[@eikeb.3695]
