DELAYED - What's Happening To The 777X?

[@jungbolosse3034]

The 777x will come out just it time to enter the Museum of flight

[@todortodorov6056]

Others are introducing teleportation StarTrek style while the Boeing 777X is entering service with their launch customer.

[@prasenjittripura4691]

​@@todortodorov6056put the example, don't throw it in the dark.

[@LalanthaPerera-ns1ue]

I don't think so!!!

[@prembagui7104]

Boeing needs a miracle to deliver 777x in 2026, it can realistically deliver by late 2027 or 2028 at the current pace of development.

[@todortodorov6056]

They will deliver one (with the bare minimums required to fly) in December 2026, so they can cross that box as completed.

[@royfeely7145]

The strike lasted 7 weeks, that cannot be used as an excuse to push back the program by a year. A significant problem is the American financial industry, pushing always for increased dividends and share values, irrespective of long-term goals and projects. Until investing is seen as a way of building businesses and less of a daily roulette spin, the drive will remain profit over quality.

If I was the CEO of the major airlines I would be dropping my orders for the 777x and be talking seriously with Airbus to fill the gaps. Boeing just can't get their sh!t together.

[@MrSchwabentier]

But you‘d pay more and potentially wait even longer

[@jungbolosse3034]

@@MrSchwabentier Price of 777-8 > 410 M$ & 777-9 > 442 M$ Price of A359 > 308 M$ & A350-10 > 355 M$ You really should do some basic research before commenting and i am not even adressing your waiting time assertion

[@MrSchwabentier]

@ someone thinking list prices mean anything… First, Boeing is known to give more generous discounts than Airbus, second, airlines get financial compensation for each and every delay applied to the final price. And with 7 years and counting, the planes are practically free at this point, at least for the customers that have been on the list since 2017. That’s what I referred to talking about price. And time horizon: If you orderA350 now you‘re looking at 4-5 years delivery time unless you have presaved slots or negotiate with other airlines. So before you come in here and tell people to do proper research I recommend applying that to yourself first. And btw. you’re comparing 2018 Airbus prices to 2022 Boeing prices. Just saying…

[@jungbolosse3034]

@@MrSchwabentier Well i have hit a nerve, haven’t I? So Mr i know everything you have 5 minutes to list exact prices of all 4 models i refered to and give me the precise delivery delay for a plane that IS NOT YET IN PRODUCTION let alone certified. Over to you.

[@TomDrez]

@@jungbolosse3034 It's been over 9 hours now, you win

[@pentametero]

What gets me is the 777x is really an upgrade with a few changes of the DUH 777. Is it a brand new airplane which would warrant a new designation number? No! It's an evolution of the 777 so WTF IS THE PROBLEM?

[@curlylast8121]

Add new wings, two massively bigger engines, new avionics, more seats, new materials, new control surfaces, starting to sound like a new plane to me. Boeing, however, is trying to lipstick in its pig and call it a gazelle.

[@pentametero]

@curlylast8121 If it were a new plane it would have a new number, not just a 777 with an "X" added to it. Plus they're not just trying to reinvent the wheel; it's an upgrade or modification to an already existing airframe. Most of it should not be so difficult since the upgrades aren't really that great...

[@curlylast8121]

@@pentametero Just like the 737 MAX - and we all saw how well that went!

[@lsubesteva]

Boeing corner cutting and recent incidents has the full attention of the FAA!! They are extremely stringent with Boeing at the moment. Boeing can’t blame anyone but the higher ups.

[@pentametero]

That is for sure especially Calhoun and McInerney. Total scheißers who did a great job running Boeing into the ground.. How could they do that to Boeing? 😢

[@user-ct2tt9zy8h]

And this is just a re-engineering. Few more seats and a new wing essentially. Wonder how long a new design would take these days at Boeing

[@Charles-b2t]

Still waiting on the update for the strut issue.Was it a defective part, a manufacturing issue, or a design fault.. A complete redesign of the strut is the worst case scenario.

[@MrSchwabentier]

they haven't specified that yet. But if it was only a manufacturing or material issue they would have just produced a new one (properly checked), which should take a few weeks at best.

[@TimAnnear_1961]

what about the fix to the rear fuse when it burst open aft if the cargo door during wing fatigue testing? that's gone silent!!!

What happened to the good old days? When a plane crashes-meh. They'll fix it.

[@johnmartinez5472]

i find it truly irresponsible to be focusing on this considering all that has happened at boeing…..new ceo, just avoided a major disruption by their labor union agreement-as well as supply chain issues which both boeing and airbus are experiencing-not to mention the restrictions that are being placed on the max and the 777x…..and yet you are in shock due to the delay…..the 777 will fly as too much has been invested….nor will the united states ever let it fail….yes it has fucked up but it will survive this as it’s a very important company and aircraft……

[@TomDrez]

Maybe we should create a kind of health bar for Boeing, to measure the amount of setback, debt and damage they can still take before disappearing, and the solutions they try to put in place in their struggle over their still growing list of problems, with each passing video being linked in some kind of archive of doom to precisely measure the decline over time of Boeing

[@linkcenter]

Before the end of this year boeing Will Come with another big delay to deliver the 777X not until 2030😂

AIrbus is already suffering from supply issues, mainly seats and engines. Further increasing production rates won't help with that

[@gerhardma4687]

By this point it would be better to develop a brand new aircraft. The 777X will be outdated when it comes out…

I have ZERO faith in Boeing. If it’s an old 75/76/77, I’d be ok flying on it. Anything newer? I’ll make sure I’m on a 320/330/350, even if it means flying a different airline or different hub.

[@cheefcambermusic2225]

It’s a shame that travelers even have to pay attention to aircraft type for safety. When will we start seeing airlines cancel orders for these abominations Boeing have hastily pumped out with shoddy engineering and poor manufacturing quality?

[@toms1348]

​@cheefcambermusic2225 , I don't pay attention to what aircraft is flying the time and route of my choosing. Most people don't. I honestly laugh out loud at people in airports when I hear them say this. I've flown on 737MAXs 83 flights now. They are perfectly safe...otherwise airlines wouldn't fly them and the FAA would ground the aircraft permanently. The 737MAX is not an abomination. Please spare us the hyperbole.

[@TheCyanDuckYT]

I fully agree, I only like looking at the type to see which plane I get to fly on. I like all of them, and there really is nothing wrong with them.

Will the 777X and other Boeing products survive the new US Administration, which seems to be anti bureaucracy and red tape, while being pro business. Will the FAA and safety regulators be supported or suppressed?

[@MrSchwabentier]

I think Boeing might suffer more from potential trade wars especially with China. Boeing expect the Chinese market to need 9000 new aircraft in the next 20 years. That’s 20% of the global expected market. If Boeing becomes a target of retaliation tariffs that might hurt them badly

[@thyip6167]

Although the Boeing 777X has faced delays after delays, airlines haven't canceled the order for the aircraft yet because they are confident that the aircraft will soon be certified and enter service. I think they should cancel the order in favor of Airbus A350-1000 XWBs because they can take delivery of the aircraft sooner rather than later.

[@cheefcambermusic2225]

A350-1000 needs more range and slot delivery availability. Airbus is working overtime to fulfill their orders. This is the era of Airbus and I’m all about it.

[@raymondmassie4898]

The engines require too much maintenance to keep Emirates happy. If Airbus / RR fix this, I’m sure Emirates would cancel their 777X order in favour of A350-1000

I wonder how much they have into R&D and testing and all the pre-production costs so far? How will it take for this plane to make money if their current order book holds. Hindsight 20/20, but it seems like they could have done a ground-up aircraft and be on the same release track at this point.
