Boeing celebrates 777th Boeing-777′s production. Its been a long way since Boeing has come in producing 777. First 777 started its service in 1995. It was then upgraded and 777-3oo was launched in 1998. After that an extended range variant was developed and it was brought to market in 2004. On the whole, Boeing has reached the mark of producing 777 777s; with an average production rate of 86 per year.
Air France, which is already maintaining a fleet of 777s did opt for extended-range variant that got the chance to be 777th. Boeing’s 777 has been an excellent choice for civil aviation since its production started back in 1995. Being a twin aisle, twin engine aircraft with a capacity of 280 to 360 passengers, it was and still it is a good choice for transport jobs.
Boeing coordinated with different airlines and decided to have a cabin cross-section close to the 747′s, capacity of around 325 passengers, fly-by-wire control system and a glass cockpit. It was to have 10% better seat-mile cost than Airbus A330 and McDonnel Douglas MD-11.
777 has proved Boeing’s long term committment to providing excellent flight solutions. It has now become a hallmark for Boeing.
