Exclusive: Inside The Experimental Boeing 777X

While at Dubai Airshow 2021 I visited the Boeing 777X. This is the first time Boeing has allowed visitors to get onboard the airplane! Let’s find out what the inside of the 777X is like?
It is an experimental airplane, with no fancy interiors but a lot of workstations, terminals and water barrel tanks. I spoke with Boeing’s test engineers, pilots and commercial staff on the 777X testing and certification program. Check out the cockpit, folding wingtip, engine and test instruments inside the aircraft. Boeing expects the B777X to complete certification in 2023.
Enjoy the flying display of the B777X at the Dubai Airshow.

I have to admit, as an A350 lover, the B777X is very unique and (probably) the most beautiful plane Boeing ever made, after the Boeing 747-8!

[@cfpzona]

I'm not one of those people that picks a side, both Boeing amd Airbus have been producing incredible planes in recent years. I flew on a Singapore Airlines A350 from Amsterdam and it was a really nice 12 and a half hour experience. Also flew long haul on the 787, the A380, and the 747-8 in recent years prior to the pandemic-all excellent planes.

[@mikescallon4288]

If you want to see engineering take a look at some of the new Gulfstream and Bombardier private jets which fly significantly faster, higher, equal to or even farther with more automation then any current commercial jet. Folding wingtips will be the only way passengers will be able to tell they are on one of these versus a current of even original 777-300 or 300er. Significantly higher cabin altitude compared to a350 and 787 that flies slower then both to gain maximum efficiency. Shame efficiency always rules the day and it is a shame that planes in the 60's and 70's such as the 707 flew faster then planes like this. Couldn't they have at least bumped the cruse speed up to .91?

It isn’t really a winglet which is intended to increase efficiency by reducing drag due to a more laminar flow.. It is a folding wingtip. And it isn’t really a feature that is adding value.. But it is needed… You didn’t mention the wingspan of this aircraft is so massive it needs to fold the wingtips during taxi and also to fit in the gates that have a defined size.. Otherwise you would need special gates to fit this one.. A380 kinda thing

Beautiful airplane. Can't wait to see the interior configurations for first class, business, coach, and custom requests. I bet it's going to be impressive. One thing that bothered me was that I've gotten so used to seeing people wearing face masks that it took me a while to notice. The folding wingtips are a concession towards tarmac and gate spots around the world which are not designed for the wider wing span. Not as much compared to carrier aircraft, just a little bit, but just enough. And those massive engines with those bypass ducts, quite a sight. I bemoaned the loss of traditional cockpit instrumentation, but I know this is very versatile. I would love to fly one of these, especially with a HUD, but I hope they have some analog backups just in case the electronic displays malfunction (as I've seen on military aircraft).
