Just How Bad Is The Boeing 777X Actually?

This video is the equivalent of a high school student trying to meet the minimum word count in an essay; all fluff.

35 years ago, Boeing was able to conceive, design, engineer, build, test, certify, and enter into service the 777-200, which has to this day maintained its reputation as one of the safest and best flying, best engineered, and best built airliners of the last half century, in less than 4 years. Today, a modest UPGRADE of that existing plane has taken them 14 so far, and they're HOPING they might have it ready in the next 2. This is what stripping regulations and incentivizing executives to sink billions into stock buybacks instead of talent or sustainability and utterly strip mine companies for short term profit has led to. But hey, tech CEO's increased their wealth by 1 trillion collectively in 2024, so there's that.

The new ceo seems to care a lot more about boeing and its future so i think it will be a brighter future once it gets through the troubles of the past.

No building in entirely new aircraft was much simpler in this case in the case of the Boeing 777X it is literally like building a new aircraft. You need to build, bigger factories, build an engine that’s able to give power to this behemoth while also giving it’s short performance, short, runway performance, that customers want not only that you have to make such a big aircraft out of carbon fiber (never done before at this scale) to compete with the fuel efficient market that is much harder than just building a new aircraft. At this point it requires a completely different design, completely different research and different execution you can’t compare the two. But yes Boeings management team has been heavily slacking, but even if they were in their prime I suspect this aircraft would still take longer than to build the 777-200 program from scratch, heck even the management team at the time said and gave hints of this conclusion…

[@philipbrailey]

I’m no expert, but I feel uncomfortable about this aircraft.

[@akunamatatalopez3963]

I feel uncomfortable with Boeing in general!

[@ramarakeshv]

Like more of a Max 737 woes. Dunno whats in their 777x systems

[@LikeDeep-q6w]

The B777-300 is an iconic and highly successful aircraft. It pains to see its legacy go down the drains with B777x due to Boeing executives' greed.

[@Tim_3100]

Thankfully not anymore the new ceo has said in stuff i have read boeing lost its way under greedy previous management & projects like starliner, 737 max and likes of the subject of this video suffered that stops now. Getting aerosystems back will help too they created the faulty parts on 737 incident

[@petesteirer]

Great analogy of what's going on at Boeing. 6 years overdue? it's a 300ER with more seats, What's the deal? And it still is a 50 year old design. A sleep at the wheel. They should concentrate on the 737 which, by the way is 60 years old. Go Airbus!!!

[@andrescampos2510]

Airplanes should not be made in backorder, this is a recipe for catastrophe. Something like this should not be rushed or even have delivery dates.

[@johannesbols57]

Bullshit clickbait desperate for clicks.

[@Aviaat1]

What is clickbait about this? 🤣 Its just a video diving into the bad and the good about the 777X

[@akunamatatalopez3963]

@Aviaat1Yup 777x it’s a project already failing because it’s behind and can’t even beat the 350 considering how fuel efficient and successful the Airbus is(777x wont even be as fuel efficient). Like grandfathers used to say “ what starts in a bad way then finishes very badly as well”

[@charlestoast4051]

I question the claimed efficiency of the 777x. The fuselage is made from aluminum, so it's heavier than an equivalent carbon one. The wing is carbon, but I've yet to see a Boeing wing that doesn't have to use vortex generators, which increase drag. Each wing has five flap fairings, or "canoes", which increase drag. The A350 has just three canoes, and no vortex generators.

[@Cerby1979]

Bad as in missing key safety features that keep passengers safe bad?

[@ranjankumardash2933]

is the Boeing 777x still grounded?

[@nabilisur9566]

Well, perhaps BOEING 777X would be continued right away because my thinking BOEING 777X is a lesson trouble than BOEING 737 MAX that got big trouble like that.

[@sugarman04]

I wonder how much the performance envelope goes down, if those foldable wing tips fold up in flight? Does anyone have any data on that? I’m sure they’ve tested it …. I mean if they haven’t, they will just because it is a certification issue.

[@openbabel]

its a dead idea and design like the max it should be scrapped immediately. The problem is that materials technology and physics just cant operate aircraft of this design with two engines. The distortion and stressing in the airframe would just pull it apart in use.....suprise suprise the test plane is just suffering from the problem forecast. Conclusion sack all Boeing designers and the incompetent board at Boeing as it demonstrates to the world it just cant built aircraft any more.why are incompetent directors still at Boeing asking the USA taxpayer to subsidize their stupidity? The world has given Boeing nine lives its destroyed all those chances...times run out close the company......

[@evogsr4807]

You have no idea what you're talking about

[@akunamatatalopez3963]

@@evogsr4807He does in a way. Compare all the sales Airbus has and Boeing doesn’t even get close anymore. Even if 777x solves the problems, there is no way 777x can be as fuel efficient as the A350 that so many companies love. Companies will be buying 5 A350 while ordering MAYBE only one 777x. 777x will be a gas guzzler compared to the A350😅, so most companies will just prioritize spending money on the better plane.

[@evogsr4807]

@akunamatatalopez3963 boeing has over 6000 aircraft on the back log. I hope you realize how many that is. They aren't hurting for sales by any means. Thier issue is getting the 777x certified. Better airplane? Absolutely not. It depends on your perception and what you believe. I work on narrow body amd wide body boeing and airbus and I can tell you they both have positives and negatives about them. Airbus isn't some magical flying god of an airplane

[@dewyakana1543]

[@fafileblond9202]

FAA doesn't like too much the folding wingtips I read somewhere. Some people see a big black cloud over this program and Boeing.😢

[@akunamatatalopez3963]

Boeing will just be like Lockheed in my opinion. They will end up just making military aircraft and airplanes for the rich. This has been done on purpose so that the general public stops flying. Unfortunately Airbus won’t be able to do orders on their own!

[@petesteirer]

Nobody knows what Boeings problem is. It's a 777-300 with 10 or 20 more seats. And it's 40 years old. It's old tech aluminum junk and 6 years going on 8 overdue. What's the deal?

[@YeaYeaOK-BUT]

@2:54 the claim that the wingtips fold during flight, is that true? I thought they fold before takeoff & after landing while taxing

[@tdmexe]

not during flight

[@philipbrailey]

Definitely not during flight.

[@matatuto6932]

We already have A350 🎉❤

[@akunamatatalopez3963]

And Boeing can’t even compete with A350. That Airbus will just be number one with any trip requiring more than 15 hours of flying

[@MadlynWinn]
