Boeing 777X folding her wingtips soon after short landing 

When I started my aerospace career in 1990 the 777-300 was the first airplane I worked on. The -200 was already in the detail design phase and my organization was working on the “stretch” -300. We had a folding wingtip designed and approved at that time to satisfy Bob Crandall, then CEO of American Airlines. He made such a stink about the wingspan and his existing gates that he didn’t want to modify that the folding tip was designed. Ultimately it wasn’t used but we did size the wing to fit a 200 foot gate. The span? 199’ 11”. 😁

The final approach and short landing was superb! the engines are massive!! Very nice Boeing...

The 777 has always been a beautiful plane alongside the 747 and 707.

The 777 looks deceptively small at a distance because the engines are so big in proportion to the fuselage. But when it gets on top of you, you realize how big it really is.

This aircraft has larger dimensions than a 747-8! Insane.

Stopping distance is really impressive! What a beautiful plane.

To me the 777 will always remain the best ever been built aircraft whit the mighty GEx...what a combination of of beauty , power and unmatched technology....#TEAMBOEING #GEX God bless Love you guys ❤❤❤ incredible work

Величайший самолет! Летал просто на 777 - влюбился на всю жизнь, мечтаю слетать на 777х

I love that jet, looks so graceful & almost athletic for a huge jet. The near vertical takeoff was legendary..

Very skillful landing right after that tight turn

As a Boeing 777-300er captain, I have to say that I'm eagerly waiting for this model to release! It's just greattt❤️‍🔥

In thrust we trust!!! Awesome video!!!

I think the Spitfire approach and short landing are much more impressive than the wingtips!

Man that’s a pretty bird, and those massive engines!!

Amazing landing by the pilots . What a big, beautiful bird

That is a pretty elegant Boeing 777X thst folded up the wing tips and beautiful video 😊😎

Man, that 777 is one beautiful aircraft!!! If I was a billionaire(it's nice to dream now and then) customized 777. Of course when I wasn't using it I'd lease it out. Beautiful sexy aircraft!

Up to a point, the wider the wingspan, the more lift you can generate. As long as you have powerful enough engines, go for it. Boeing obviously went for it on the 777X and it is one beautiful aircraft to watch work. Even though it is an amazing piece of engineering, at the same time itis truly a work of art. Obviously someone on Boeings' engineering team took their math homework serious.

Да хрен с ними этими законцовками, я вот обалдел от такого захода на полосу. С разворота на минимальной высоте. Пилоты реально красавцы!

That is such an amazing thing about the winglets Boeing has made!!! Just a miracle of engineering❤

to clarify on the folding wingtips: upon landing, when brakes are applied and let off, and aircraft rolls to preprogrammed ground speed, the wingtips retract automatically via computer control (ie: the flight crews does not control the retraction) ......on takeoff, as the aircraft approaches the runway for their takeoff roll, or anytime there before as they taxi away from gate, the flight crew actuates a switch in flight deck to deploy the wingtips

That was a hard approach, great pilots, huge reverse thrust

Просто красава! Такой крутой заход на посадку и путь торможения! Просто супер! Командиру 5 баллов! Вы красавчики!

Nice looking aircraft!!

The most adorable commercial plane ever next to the concorde..

Wow excellent video my friend! ✈️👍

What a plane. I have had many 777 flights fantastic.

Крутой заход! 👍

Not a boeing person, but I actually like this aircraft!

Wow that was a tight landing!

Awesome 777-9

You'd think that much flex would cause stress fractures over time, but with the new composites it actually relieves fractures, Amazing technology 👏.

Aproximação espetacular.

Congrats for the Video! Awesome 💯

wowzers….great clip!

Whao! Gracious looking big bird

Stunning video mate, I'm really happy that got viral!!

WOW!!! BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!! 👍

Incredible video buddy! Great catch! Liked!

I'm more fascinated by those insanely humongous GE9X engine.

It will be the most beautiful thing on the sky!!!!!!!!

She's so beautiful.....

The engines are so massive

Sorprende la distancia en la qué se detiene!. Excelente video!. FELICITACIONES!.👏👏👏👏👍👍

From Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Excellent and Stunning Catch.... Waiting to see Boeing B777-9X into Air 😍

My Congratulations 👏

Does it also have MCAS without redundants like the B737 MAX?

How man finally got successfully the copy of the creation to fly, birds 👏🏼👏🏼

I like how the 777-9 folds its wings as soon as the A350 comes into shot

like how theres a a350 in the background just watching

BOEING THE BEST 😍😍👏👏😇😇

When you see these aircraft moving about in their choreographed, and synchronized patterns at the airport, its easy to forget what these modern marvels are actually capable of. That guy (or lady) could fly me to hell and back, anytime.

Like a Thai dancer's hand pose (mudra) . Very graceful.

Amazing skill but mainly is an amazing aircraft.

Nice GE90 sound. Almost awkward listening to my Westinghouse 12V fan in my work truck. 😬

Without passengers 💅

777:"my wings fold up!" Navy jets: "hold my beer"

that a350XWB sitting next behind be like 😎

Very nice video, many thanks for sharing. Greetings from MBJ airport Jamaica.

On est obligé de reconnaître que c'est un très Bel Avion ! ! ! très Fin ,,,, une grande réussite ! et très Sûr !

Yes there is a purpose for the added wingspan just like having the landing gear retract once airborne. Did you ever notice those?

Pilot to anyone "Enough about me, let's talk about my airplane.

Wow...that is cool

that thing is SO quiet.. holy cow.

Gosh! that is a biiiig bird

The dangest things are a joy to watch... very COoL. Thank you.

For saving width on parking bays, aprons and taxiing, this cool feature looks an awesome solution. But it scares me with the fact that adding folding mechanism may create an issue during flight mid air due to immense pressure. I am sure they have undertaken thousands of hours of rigorous testing in intense conditions. Wishing Boeing and other companies working together a super success and incident free operations for decades to come.

Amazing capture and according to you which flight is better in this 2 A350-XWB or Boeing 777x & who will wins in market sale and for passengers best & for longer distance..?

I am very sure and whit confidence that soon or late, this machine would be certified! Exelent video!

One of the many things the Boeing Company needs to do to make those planes enjoyable is to improve quality and safety.

They actually have one produced? Is the MCAS fixed, I mean it's not a max but it scared the scrap out of the FAA last year when they were on a test flight.

bro the engines are huge..

Plonked her down a bit hard with a late flare, esp. considering how light she must have been...

Watching a bunch of home built and kit aircraft on RU-vid, it's funny seeing "EXPERIMENTAL" on something so massive.

Thanks for sharing this video ✈️🛩🛬🛫

Посадка - высший пилотаж . Но я бы летал на airbus , т.к. новые боинги часто падают

The diameter of the nacelles is truly mind boggling.

Looked to me more like an added feature to create style if not why fold it up when the plane landed

What happens if they fold while flying?

The airbus a350 just minding his own business

That’s like the plane version of folding mirrors, it’s so they can fit threw a gap

Safety data?

As cool as the folding wing tops are, am I the only one who thinks that the wings look disproportionately large in comparison with the fuselage?

Nice turn and short landing like the livery,them engines are huge.Are Boeing still using the yoke in cockpit,or are they now using fly by wire and joystick,like airbus use?

1:41 будьте здоровы!

Can't understand what for but amazing

1:53 for the wing fold.

The military tech(s) in civil use....When will the V-22 Osprey vertical take-off & short landing to be in commercial use(?) Soon...

What to think.........short hops unless a cross wind good.

Is the 777X only engine option is just GE?

Who told everybody that they had to wear a white shirt?

2.05 two beauties

Hi there from Australia. I think the Winglets are folded into the Up Position may have something to do with Airport Gate Terminal Spaces between Aircraft as she does have a Large Wingspan, That's only a Guess, In Turbulence Situation they May And I say May give the Wings some Residual Stability but not Cohesive Aerodynamics wise but it's like any Port in a Storm given Serious Problems, You would Utilise any Designed Concepts even if not meant to be Depending on Pilot's Overall View of Immediate Danger lying with them in Severe Storm or Turbulence. The Flexing of the Wings is pretty much on a par with the 787 Series and A350 Aircraft, You get a sensational view of wing flexibility when aircraft comes out of a rapid decent and straitened. This Aircraft is I think in Definition an Airbus A380 killer and will fill Airline Requirements for a long time Post A380, The 787 series more than adequately cover the ,A350 Aircraft to an extent and despite the Technical and Supply Issues which Airbus Industries have had themselves then the Post Covid Pandemic Global shut downs which caused immediate Passenger mayhem when lifted is likely to settle down and these Aircraft will have a part to play in future Airline Planning and I believe a 777 - 10 may be on the list of Boeing's thing's to do, My only other concern is lack of details coming out of Boeing on the 777 and when she will be available and needs much Advertising so to speak as do the 787 series to climb back up the ladder in relation to Airbus Industries orders. With Sincere Regards. John.

nice

I was hoping they’d fold Grumman cat style. :-)

That is known as wing tip fence during take off the fence will control the escapeing air flow to maintain the laminarair

I see a few comments calling these folding wing tips "winglets". I do not think these are winglets as often seen on other contemporary commercial jets. Correct me if I am wrong, but I suspect this 777x is not designed to fly with these wing tips folded up. Look at the video at the 2:48 mark and you can see the exposed hinges and sharp edges. Modern winglets have a smooth transition from the wing. Those hinges are an aerodynamic nightmare.

That’s soon ?

Where do think the fuel goes. People, cargo to the fuselage. Fuel in the wings. Also, all the weight needs a big airfoil.
