Boeing 777X/777-9 [N779XW] Takeoffs and Landings at Portland Airport (PDX) 

It's certainly a superior plane and deserves the love and positivity it receives! Thanks for your work on it.

When the 777 production line was launched in the early 1990's, the program motto as you probably recall was "Working Together," a philosophy pioneered by Phil Condit that created an atmosphere of close cooperation between the customer, suppliers, and Boeing support organizations. The result was the creation of an airplane that offered outstanding performance with quality and longevity, and at a reasonable cost. Sadly, those production concepts that were so instrumental in creating this wonderful airplane seemed to have been largely forgotten, or ignored, on later programs.

👏👏👏

Massive plane. Largest 2 engine plane ever!

Hi. Did the get the idea early from the 757 767???

The King is the a380

747 have no successor No plane will ever be able to replace it while it's gone

@@mstrmren The A380 was a disaster from the start.. that's why Airbus stopped making them.

@@samdedman7557 That doesnt mean the a380 is the King of the Sky

@@samdedman7557 And it was only a faliure because it was released so late, if it was build at the time the 747 was nee, it would have been a massive sucess

Me too!

Follow my channel for close up look at aircrafts

I agree

@@PortlandAviation Boeing 777Xs are safe

Only looks effortless because of the light weight during testing or the late rotation. Very common on test flights.

Yep, almost as wide as the fuselage!

@@airplanes0015 I just have to see that up close.

@@locoHAWAIIANkane yeah. I wish I saw one! Last night I went planespotting at ATL and saw a Korean Air A380. It was amazing how huge it was!

@@airplanes0015 a 737 can easily fit in it

@@josebasilioconcepcion4377 yep. I can’t believe how huge they are though.

Thanks! Yeah, I love that too!

@@PortlandAviation Air Canada should order these 777Xs

That's why the wingtips fold when they are folded they have the same wingspan as old generation 777s!

Wow....

I in college in the uk so not university like but I’m wanting to become a mechanical engineer for civil aviation

LUCKY DUUUUCK!!

Wait, you got to program the FADEC? THAT'S SO COOL! Gotta fight compressor stalls, flutter, lag, and flameouts!

@@belacickekl7579 Yup! Performed software testing at the GE facility around Cincinnati, OH.

100% agreed!

But then again, it's a GE, not a Roars Royce

The actual 777 classics, 777-200/ER and 300 don't have that

@@rv7w602 Some 200ER's have GE engines.

Thanks!

What’s up Ravy? How’s Sky Chefs? LOL

this is basically boeing's way of saying "fuck quad-jets."

@@Cakeyboi4 but trijets and quadjets are equally important, for safety reasons..

Do ur research. The 777x has a max takeoff weight of 775,000lbs while the 747 and a380 has a max takeoff weight of 988,000 and 1,208,000lbs. The 777x is longer than both the 747 and a380 but it isn’t bigger. Also, the 747 and a380 has a max passenger capacity of 660 and 853 while the 777x is 550. Don’t comment if u know nothing about what you’re talking about

Yeah, you're definitely not alone there! Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, it seems to sound a bit like the GE90, but it also sounds pretty spooky at low power. Seems they took a leaf out of the Pratt and Whitney book on that one.

🌏🌍🌎🎂

there is no such thing as a god

Thanks!

A340 500 is even better looking. 4 Engines 4 Long Haul.

@@visionist7 to each his own, I guess.

Should definitely be a good experience!

@@PortlandAviation hopefully they should perform in farnborough show just like the 787 and 737max did

Thanks! I'm a fan of your channel. :)

@@PortlandAviation cheers

Thanks! I couldn't agree more!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Same!

Thank you, for sure! I consider myself lucky to see it!

Thank you!!

Thanks! It took me by surprise, I had to rush out for it.

No problem mate! Lucky you got to see it at all. I know a guy living in Vancouver who had to hear it fly over him 3 times but he couldn't see because it was cloudy.

Oh, that's torture! Im looking forward to hearing the 9X's in person someday, but this will do for now. Excellent footage. Thanks again for sharing this!

Thanks!

Indeed!

Thanks! Yeah, funny how a day before I saw this, I said we probably wouldn't have to wait long to see it here. That sure did age well.

Unfortunately a lot of camps with stolen cars and garbage have sprung up along 33rd and Marine Dr. right next to the airport as well as nearby areas. Sad to see how large the city has allowed the homelessness problem to become.

Thanks! Hope it visits again.

Is it common for Boeing and airlines to use PDX as an airport to test new planes? Judging by your videos, was surprised to see so much testing of new aircraft.

Haha

Is it? currently it still has a lot of problems with their Dreamliners and the 737 MAX

@@Sedna063 They're coming back slowly

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, let's hope they made some better engineering choices this time...

@@PortlandAviation Hopefully so, though some ex boeing people are already saying to brace for another max like mess.

@@buybygb Yikes.

Yeah!

Thanks!

@@PortlandAviation :)
