[@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.

[@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.

[@abhigyakhandelwal9215]

Watching this in 2024 and boy, things have gone from WORST to WORST EVER situation for Boeing. Not only is the plane still more than a year for being certified and the people who were supposed to make them are now on strike.

[@Rentraveller]

So why is the 777X not using composite materials in the fuselage like the Dreamliner?

[@AshrakAhmed]

money saving

[@Rentraveller]

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.

[@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...

Boeing 777X is very nice airplane , but though said , i don't understand , why Boeing decided to kill 747-8 model instead of making from existing 747-8 model , with some changes , new-modern 747 twin engine airplane , because 747 is way more practical than 777 ........ , because keep in mind , that dimensionally , like fuselage length and width , there's insignificant difference between 747-8 and 777X , but as i already mentioned , 747-8 is way more practical because of front nose cargo entry 747 got way better cargo capabilities than 777 . If there is no possibility keep in production both models , so by my opinion kill 777 model make much bigger sense than kill 747 which you can use like passenger airplane but also as very good cargo airplane .
