Boeing 777 Family
The Triple Seven: world premier twin-engine long-range widebody workhorse
Aviation Heritage & Operational Role
The Boeing 777 was the first commercial aircraft designed entirely with three-dimensional computer-aided design (CATIA). Bridging the gap between the 767 and the 747, the 777-200 and long-range 777-300ER established twin-engine dominance over long-haul oceanic routes. Powered by GE90 engines, the 777 broke world records for non-stop range and twin-engine ETOPS reliability, serving as the flagship long-haul aircraft for dozens of global carriers.
