How to spot one
- ✓Six-wheel main gear bogies — the signature 777 tell, no tilt-out like an A350's
- ✓Engines so large a 737 fuselage would nearly fit inside the nacelle
- ✓Distinctive flattened, blade-like tailcone
- ✓777X: watch for the folding wingtips articulating after landing
The airplane that killed the jumbo. The 777-300ER's combination of 747 capacity with twin-engine economics ended the four-engine era almost single-handedly, powered by the GE90-115B — for years the most powerful jet engine ever flown. The next act is the 777X: GE9X engines, a composite wing so wide the tips fold to fit airport gates, and after years of delay, an entry into service with Lufthansa that enthusiasts have been tracking flight-test frames for.
