The Boeing 777 is an American wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and commonly referred to as the Triple Seven. The 777 was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's 767 and 747, and to replace older DC-10s or L-1011s. The Boeing 777 was the first commercial aircraft to be completely designed with the use of computers. British Airways operates 45 Boeing 777-200ERs and will operate 16 Boeing 777-300ER once deliveries are completed. As of May 2020, Boeing has 19 passenger variant Boeing 777 orders to fill, one '-200LR' and 18 '-300ER.'. Nov 10, 2020 Throughout the 1970s, the Boeing Company operated the mammoth 747 four-engined, 'wide-body' long-range jet airliner. In 1978, a move was enacted to supplement the 747 with the 'narrow-body' 757 series, the wide-body 767 series and the Trijet 777, a triple-engine aircraft - a design proving popular at the time. Nov 02, 2020 Normally referred to as the 'triple seven,' it has become a firm favorite with airlines and pilots alike. The airlines love the way its performance affects their balance sheets and pilots love it for its simplicity and versatility. Here is the definitive guide on all you need to know about 'The Triple.'. I have never seen such a fast Boeing 777 takeoff. 15 seconds after the engines spooled up the Triple Seven was already airborne. At the beginning of the vide.

Widebody passenger transport jets made their introduction in the 1960s early 70s in the form of the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and the Lockheed L1011 Tristar. Preparing for the retirement of the Boeing 727 faithful workhorse, Boeing in 1978 announced the 757 narrow body, as well as the 767 wide-body which was to go up against the Airbus A330. Boeing also was kicking around a Boeing 777 jet idea which was a tri-jet, to go up against the DC-10 and L1011.

ETOPS

The Boeing 757 and 767 models were well accepted by the market. The timing was fortuitous, as in the early 1980s new regulations were introduced governing the operations of twin-engine aircraft on transoceanic routes. ETOPS, (Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards), allowed certificated aircraft to fly up to three hours (ETOPS180) from the nearest available alternative airfield. The Boeing 767 began to be used under this regulation on oceanic routes that did not require the seating capacity of the larger widebodies.

Filling the Gap

There was still a gap in Boeing's stable of aircraft between the Boeing 767 and the Boeing 747 which needed to be filled.

McDonnell Douglas announced the MD11 to replace the ageing DC10. Airbus had the Airbus A330 and A340. In 1986 Boeing floated ideas to create an enlarged Boeing 767. Called the Boeing 767-X, the design had a longer fuselage, larger wings with winglets and a wider cabin. The response from airlines was not encouraging at all. The market called for an even wider fuselage, flexible cabin layouts and better fuel economy than could be delivered by any Boeing 767 variant.

A New Design

In 1988 Boeing reacting to the market, acknowledged that a brand new design was called for and the Boeing 777 idea was born.

In a departure from the norm, Boeing gathered 8 leading airlines to become part of the design group. The Working Together Group, as it was called, was made up of All Nippon Airways, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Delta Air Lines, Japan Airlines, QANTAS, and United Airlines. Rather than presenting the market with what Boeing perceived as their idea of what was required, customers had direct input.

08 December 1989Boeing made offers of the Boeing 777 to airlines.
January 1990The first meeting of the Working Together Group. (All Nippon Airways, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Delta Air Lines, Japan Airlines, QANTAS, and United Airlines.)
March 1990Boeing and the Working Together Group had settled on some basic design characteristics of the Boeing 777.
14 October 1990United Airlines placed an order for 34 Boeing Boeing 777s powered by Pratt and Whitney engines, becoming the launch customer for the type.
January 1993Boeing designers and around 240 airline teams gathered at Everett to address around 1,500 design issues. Modifications were made. Cathay Pacific influenced an increase of the fuselage diameter, All Nippon Airways demanded lengthening of the base model fuselage, whilst British Airways asked for more interior flexibility and increased weight options.
4 January 1994Assembly begins on the first aircraft.
9 April 1994The first Boeing 777 rolls off the production line. Aircraft WA001 is involved in many ceremonies.
12 June 1994The Boeing 777 makes its maiden flight, beginning 11 months of testing.
19 April 1995Boeing 777 receives its airworthiness certification from both the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA, U.S.) and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA, Europe).
15 May 1995United Airlines takes delivery of its first Boeing 777.
30 May 1995The 777 with Pratt and Whitney engines becomes the aircraft to be awarded ETOPS-180 on entry into service. This means the Boeing 777 can be used for trans-oceanic services provided it does not fly further than 180 minutes from an available alternative landing site.
7 October 1996The Boeing 777 200ER with extended range and increased payload capability made its maiden flight.
17 January 1997The Boeing 777 200ER received both FAA and JAA certification.
9 February 1997The Boeing 777 200ER enters service with British Airways.
2 April 1997A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 200ER flying from Everett to Kuala Lumpur broke the record for an aircraft non stop flight. It flew 20,044Km (10,823NM) in 21 hours and 23 minutes. It was aptly named Super Ranger.
16 October 1997The Boeing 777 300 made its maiden flight. At 73.0 Metres (242.4 Feet) it was the longest airliner to have flown, a record to be held until the Airbus A340-600 was introduced.
4 May 1998The Boeing 777 300 received type certification from both the FAA and JAA.
27 May 1998Cathay Pacific, the launch customer for the Boeing 777 300, received their first aircraft.
29 February 2000Boeing launched its next-generation twin-engine program concentrating on creating longer-range variants of existing types. Named Boeing 777-X it was a slow starter due to the downturn in the airline business in the early part of that decade. The first design to be offered, the Boeing 777 300ER was ordered by Air France. Ten were ordered.
24 February 2003Boeing Boeing 777 300ER made its maiden flight.
16 March 2004Type certification for the Boeing 777 300ER was granted by the FAA and EASA (replacement to the JAA).
29 April 2004Air France took delivery of their first Boeing 777 300ER.
15 February 2005The Boeing 777 200LR rolls out of the factory, being the second long-range Boeing 777 variant
8 March 2005The Boeing 777 200LR makes its maiden flight.
26 February 2006The Boeing 777 200LR set a record for the longest flight by a passenger jet by flying from Hong Kong to London, a distance of 21,602 kilometres (11,664 NM), in 22 hours and 42 minutes.
2 February 2006The Boeing 777 200LR receives type certification from the FAA and EASA.

6 February 2009Type certification of the Boeing 777F was received from the FAA and EASA.
19 February 2009Air France received the first production model Boeing 777F.
