![]() Servicing both temperature and noise improvements are the redesigned air nozzles Boeing explained to us that there will be "more of them operating with less velocity. The A380 retains the title for the largest (by passenger capacity, volume, and weight. The 777-9 is the longest commercial aircraft ever built. ![]() The 747-8 is just a bit smaller at 250 feet 2 inches (76.3 meters). Boeing has confirmed that it now anticipates delivering the first 777X aircraft in 2025, according to the company’s first quarter 2022 financial report. In a bid to improve the passenger experience and keep things quiet, "the ceiling panels themselves" will serve as the speakers, reducing the visible breaks in the interior, while "improved insulation in the sidewalls" work to dampen noise. According to Boeing's data, the 777-9 has a total length of 251 feet 9 inches (76.72 meters). Boeing wouldn't shed any light on ongoing discussions with carriers, but it seems fair to assume that select airlines may look to significantly differentiate cabins with different ceiling treatments. will be used in the scope of manufacturing the wings for the Boeing 777X. Windows will also feature electronic dimming, and to an even greater extent than before. Boeing’s 777X will also take after the 787 Dreamliner. In other words, you could see an airline outfit a single plane with four different ceiling treatments to coincide with different cabins (for instance, first, business, premium economy and economy). According to the creator, if this is applied to the entire cockpit of an A320. Higher ceilings also make the cabin feel more spacious, even after accounting for new larger, easy-access overhead storage. The first flight of the Boeing 777X is scheduled for 2019, with first delivery slated for 2020. In comparison, the latest Boeing 747 model, the 747-8, has only 47 passenger and 107 freighter orders.Windows, as you'd expect, are huge to allow more natural light to flow in, while a range of ceiling and stow bin choices enable airlines to "create distinct cabins that meet their passenger needs." Speaking to the aircraft's window size, we learned that they are 16% larger than the windows on the 777 while also sitting "higher on the fuselage."īoeing explained to us that it's providing more flexible packages for the elements it controls - sidewalls, bins, ceilings and lighting - which it refers to as lining options. Boeings newest aircraft, the Boeing 777X, flew for the first time in January 2020 after lengthy delays. This is a solid start for an aircraft that is yet to enter service, and it could be boosted further if a freighter version is developed. With the slowdown in the aviation market in 2020, Boeing will slow the production of these, delivery of the airframe was due to start in 2021, but this has since been delayed until at least 2022. Of course, airlines often achieve significant discounts on the list price, particularly if they are placing multi-plane orders. If a company is looking for long-range and plenty of capacity, perhaps a 777 is required. If a carrier is just starting out, is small in size, or needs aircraft for shorter routes, the popular 737 series springs to mind. 777X: The 777-9 is being marketed at 442.2 million, while the 777-8 will be 410.2 million. Boeing has a delightful range of different aircraft available for airlines. ![]() ![]() Up to April 2020, 309 777X aircraft had been ordered (according to Boeing data). A350: The A350-1000 is 366.5 million, while the A350-900 is 317.4 million. If its efficiency lives up to its claims, it will compete well against the A350 (Simple Flying looked at this further in a previous article).Ī quick look at sales and orders shows early success. ![]() For Boeing operators, it makes a potential replacement for 777 and 747 fleets. With efficiency claims amongst the top of all widebody aircraft, and range and capacity, making it an alternative option for all but the highest capacity A380, the 777X could be set for great things. ![]()
