Boeing
777-300
Compared with the baseline 777-200 the 777-300 features a 10,13 m stretch,
comprising plugs fore and aft of the wings. The longer fuselage allows seating
for up to 550 passengers in a single class high density configuration. Boeing
publicly announced it was developing the 777-300 at the Paris Airshow in mid
June 1995. The 777-300 rolled out on September 8 1997, followed by first flight
on October 16 that year.
The 777-300ER is the first
of two new Longer-Range 777 models. The 777-300ER and the 777-200LR (Longer
Range) were launched in February 2000 at the request of airline customers
seeking airplanes with additional flexibility to serve the non-stop routes that
passengers demand.
The twin-engine 777-300ER
carries 365 passengers up to 14.270 kilometers, and is capable of serving such
routes as Paris-Los Angeles and Paris-Tokyo.
During the 777-300ER's 1,500-hour flight test program, the airplane exceeded its
original design performance targets. As a result, the new jetliner provides
increased payload and range capability over those promised to customers at the
time of the airplane sale.
The 777-300ER has updated avionic, electrical, flight and environmental control
systems. The airplane's raked wingtips offer fuel efficiency improvements and
its semi-levered landing gear permits takeoffs on shorter runways.
The 777-300ER also features the award-winning Boeing Signature Interior, known
for its ambient lighting and easily accessible drop-down luggage bins.
General Electric Aircraft Engines manufactures the engines for both Longer-Range
777 models. The GE90-115B turbofan is the world's largest and most powerful
commercial jet engine, producing 115,000 pounds of thrust, currently a Guinness
World Record.
On Friday, December 3, 2004
was the rollout of the 500th Boeing 777 commercial airplane. The Boeing 777 the
fastest-selling twin-aisle airplane ever, will reach 500 airplanes delivered
faster than any other twin-aisle airplane in commercial history. The 500th 777
is scheduled for delivery to International Lease Finance Corp. and operator Air
France later this month. Thirty-eight customers have ordered 647 Boeing 777.
