Interesting Things You Did Not Know About The Boeing 777X

The 777X is due to enter service in 2022. It is the highest capacity twin-engine aircraft yet developed and has already proved popular with airlines with 350 orders as of July 2020.
Today we’ll take an in-depth look at the 777X, picking out some of the most interesting details about this program, as well as highlighting why it stands out from other aircraft…

I'm wondering how can the FAA certifies that plane, It does not make sense. Sometimes, if not even most, the FAA allows Boeing to investigate itself and takes appropriate action to ensure safety. However, for Being safety means safeguarding the wealth of its shareholders, NOT the safety of its passengers, unfortunately. What makes things even worst is that the FAA is aware of it.

This is like a Mercedes Commercial. "New seats, luxurious leather, new tech, all for more than you make and ten years." Can't wait to see it. It it is as successful as the original 777, then this should basically be a run away hit. That price is a problem though. While I know Airbus is cheating when it comes to pricing, at the end of the day no one cares why the plane is cheaper only that it is cheaper.

So the cabin of a 777X landing at an airport at 7,000 ft would be pressurized to 6,000 ft before takeoff, or would it try making the change in pressure over the whole flight gradual?

[@DJAYPAZ]

Interesting video. Economy or cattle class is usually a poor experience depending on the airline. What exactly is being changed in the 777x design to improve things for economy passengers? Try using your laptop when the passenger in the seat in front of you fully reclines their seat. Or not getting elbowed in the ribs by the big guy in the seat next to you.

[@jdf1stats]

What worries me is that the 777-300er flies 13,650km with 396 pax according to Boeing and 777-9 13,500 with 412 pax. Not much of difference but when comparing fuel capacity the 777-300er 181,300L & 777-9 198,000L. Where's the fuel savings? I know that the 777-9 has more capacity but is that enough? A350-1000 flies 16,100km (much further) with 350-410 pax according to Airbus, which is similar. However they do it with much less fuel 159,000L !!! Of course there are benefits to a more modern plane but I don't see the savings. Houston, we got a problem...

[@tobiwan001]

Considering that it is not a new plane but mainly an update to the wings and new engines they have surprisingly long development times. But it is good to see that the FAA appears to no longer rubber stamp all Boeing products.

[@Daveomabegin]

I'd love to know exactly the reason why Boeing decided not to make the fuselage out of composite materials. It seems that using aluminium is an inferior material.

[@XIIchiron78]

Simply put, scale. Composite bodies require an autoclave to cure, and the 787 already required building the largest ever in the world, at great difficulty and cost. The 777X is even larger, so would be even more expensive and add years to the already delayed delivery date.

[@johnentwhistlesurelysamsun1840]

doesn't that make even less sense since the purpose of composite materials is to save money in the first place?

[@jpman2173]

Because the 777 has been around for a long time, which means that they are using the existing mainframe to improve on it and not completely build from the ground up. The Dreamliner was built from scratch, and that's why they could use composite material.

[@aandwdabest]

If Boeing wants to take advantage of their new 777X aircraft, I think they should also offer a twinjet domestic variant for Indian, Chinese and Japanese market, just like what Boeing did with 747-400D to the Japanese market. Range may be slashed by half but it’s frequency shelf life can be double by half due to tailored landing gear for domestic travel, which could withstand wear and tear. If a double decker is no longer feasible (A380 looking at you), then the best Boeing can do is to go with a domestic variant of 777-10 that could sit between 500-600 people. Say it comes out in 2030 after Boeing sorts out its issues, it really could put the A380 out of pasture for good.
