Boeing Introduces its New Fuel-Efficient, Twin-Engine Jet for Long-Haul Flights: The 777X 

+Daniel May Not true if you fly with a decent airline (not a US one) they will, Cathay, Turkish, Etihad, Emirates, even Lufthansa (on long haul flights) have very good cabins.

So true

Your right it's true and sad! over priced and packed like cattle or sardines is what we will truly get!

Emery Collins yup

very sad

hhh they should say sky breaking

+keith murray Qantas - mmmmm..... lets just wait 3 years... mmmmmm.....

+MattMattMatt Cool but Qantas has already placed orders for 787 dreamliners!

Kris AwesomePants But Jetstar got them first! Lol

+MattMattMatt Cool v ti es mozo zona mozo .z. z n

naah the 747 will always be the queen of the skies. 777 could be the princess though

***** haha, then who be the prince?

Alex Singh​ there is no prince, planes are female

***** not prince, what the other one? I aint know my monarchies, but isnt there another title, after princess?

Prince and princess are the kings/queens children. There is Duke and Dutchess, I think those are like governors of states.

Hopefully Boeing put some investment into the refrigerator in the plane

LOL, yes

LOL

Yeah. It's in Southern California...not north

+Sam SoCal Buenos Aires and São Paulo are also misplaced...

Joseph Stalin Man there's no need to get mad. Take it easy

I'll represent Emirates. I am placing an order for 150 B777X aircraft -8 and -9. (This is true, look it up and be mind blowned!)

Airline Nexus I know, I must say I'm very impressed with Emirates, a very sizeable order, and I wish BA did the same, albeit 150 would be too many, unless they had plans for route expansion

+HMSDaring1 YES, you may!

+Bananas eat Tacos the 787 is significantly much bigger then the 767..the 777 is the perfect long haul jet..really there is no need for quad engine jets when you have the 777-300er

patrick Rose Well, the A380 is a very good aircraft for capacity. Emirates sole reliance on the 777 and the A380 is the perfect strategy. I think the A380 is under-used actually, all European airlines are neglecting it, Emirates has seemed to recognise it's importance, especially for BA, with its limited slots the A380 would be perfect for it

+Narresh Ramdayal 747s are wider you might like it better!

TELL ME MORE

+Speedbird I flew with the 747 already..love it. The worst experience I ever had was flying in a 737. I literally caught a panic attack... in fact a few of them. Never will I fly in a 737 again

Why? Are you claustrophobic?

Rehan Haque Yes, your friend in the sky likes america better than anywhere else, for sure, the bestest and all that usa stuff that god loves more about you than anyone else, yes, and god bless the universe, where god the fellow of your imagination lives, for sure, right now, of which usa is only a small part.

Rehan Haque You ought to learn a bit of history before committing God's blessing to the good ol' US of A, Rehan. You should honor your last name, "Haque" (pertaining to truth) and take pride in truthful knowledge; the people and its institutions hates the peoples with names like yours.

Johnny never let me down nb

+acrylicsoft company But the 777x fuselage is wider to allow for 10-abreast seating with an 18in. seat width. But knowing Air Canada, they're probably not going to widen the seat to save money.

But enough to make a comfortable 10 abreast configuration. 18 inches is good and should be the standard. Oh and if we're going to talk about narrow seats in a sardine can plane, let's talk about Air Transat with their 9 abreast A330s at an atrocious 16.4 inches per seat.

I really like the way the composite wings look in flight.

WHY AREN'T THEY FUNDING THIS

Once you compute momentum on typical nose-diving out-of-control aircraft, you would find it pretty obvious that it's nearly impossible to bring down the vertical acceleration on impact to the safe levels. It might make more sense to deploy parachutes...

toukoaozaki That actually sounds better, though the exoskeleton body is worth being included with your's.

better still - that thing tucked under the seat? personal transporter :)

Even if the plane survives a power dive into the ground, all the passengers are gonna be chunky salsa on the forward bulkhead because they'll still be doing 600+ kph when the plane stops moving. Just a thought.

+RCHeliJet I haven't flown on one but they are cool.

well, the a350 is also extra-wide, just saying...

REKT! ~Boeing

Boeing can't do nothing about it, nor can airbus, if you want luxury and space, just get first class and stop complaining...

That´s obvious. Airlines decides how they pack their passengers, and these decide if the accept their cabins or not. My question is: what´s the the level of tolerance of the passengers in travelling conditions which deteriorate year after year?. Is there a limit?.

All they fucking care about is making money anymore. We have souls and basic needs, you know, fellow airlines who's social media sites probably look on these videos occasionally.

No that's not true. Seats are the exact same size.

its just the same. many old airliners made by boeing have been made better with the tech and luxery of the 787

harold chiang nope, on the inside, the plane is different, the cockpit maxed out is, yes the same, but the cabin, engine and wing are different, luxury is different too! :D

Agreed!

Wheatley indeed, I flew on an Air France 777-300ER and it was the most comfortable flight I have ever been on. The landing was so smooth!! :)

+Wheatley Aren't you suppose to be in space?

+Wheatley what did you do in Russia if I'm allowed to ask

xLeanHD Just visiting relatives. This was before all the shit that started a couple years ago :P

Wheatley I have relatives in Russia too so... haha I didn't even think about that

Do you want to pay more for the ticket on those faster flights??? it cost money to go fast...

Real Name Hell when they brought a Concorde to Seattle just before they pulled them from service they offered a short demo ride out over the Pacific to break the sound barrier...but the cost was prohibitive...you would have to sell your soul to get enough money to buy the ticket... I settled on a tour on the ground when it was put in the Museum in Seattle...

Real Name It will never be cheap...it cost way too much for development...

Nope ! ! !Concorde was too expensive to operate...

Real name... except you forgot that BA did not have to pay for the planes...and they still were not economical..

No, the 8x has more greater range because less mass= less weight which means less fuel consumption. So a 10x like that needs to be proportional to the 8x. But larger. That means bigger engines, bigger wings, bigger body. Just get the specs and do the math.

Not really, comparing the 777-200ER (not LR) to the 300ER

There is a problem.. the 777X is allready 76m long... 1m longer than the A340-600 4 more than the A380 and same as the 747-8 .. the reason why all this planes keep it less than 80m is because the "jumbo box" .. when the 747 came new in the 80s it was the biggest airliner ever by far..and airports arround the world had to be redesigned .. to do that they used a square box of 80X80m where a 747 would fit nicelly (71m) .. so all airports arround the world right now are designed to handle planes that fit in a 80X80m box.. and manufacuters are working with that limit or no company will buy them on the financial risk of forcing airports making a new major re-build.. We are now at 76m .. barelly not much room to go. So there is two options.. Tear down all major airports and design them again with a new larger box in mind.. or making planes as big as possible within the limit. Thats Airbus aproach with the A380 (full doble decker) and Boeing with the 747-8. The problem for the 747-8 is that it still maxes arround 550-600pax max (500-550 in 2/3 class setup) where the A380 can seat 100-150 more in same configs and the 777X 100-50 less being more efficient.. quite a lot of strategy here

"going to be some serious competition between the 777X and the A350-XWB" Hardly. In the lucrative twin-engine widebody market, Boeing now offers 3 variants of the 787 (-8, -9, -10) and two variants of the 777X (-8, -9). Airbus cannot seriously compete with Boeing's widebody lineup. Any reputable aviation analyst will tell you that

gangster3591 Personnaly, I´m an Airbus fan, but current competition is very intense and it will probably remain so, both manufacters are absoloutly amazing and absoloutly revolucionary, both are flagships, both are innovative and both produce amazing aircrafts, but i must agree, Airbus should come up with a new airplane.

It is! I can't wait for it to start flying.. For real :)

+Jiahong L What's an ;Airbus;?

+Jiahong L I love Boeing and Airbus. But airbus really doesn't have a competitor for the 777x yet...

+Jiahong L this is from 2 years ago

+JordanCO_ TV The A350's

Then your next vacation will have to be in 2020.

We were literally just told this

FlightSimMaster108 The 757 has been discontinued. The 787 is meant to replace the 767 but as far as I know, 767's are still being produced.

FlightSimMaster108 I know Icelandair is kinda waiting for a 757 replacement, but it seems like that's not going to come soon.

I read in a paper a month ago that Boeing is looking into introducing an all-new aircraft in 2018-19 for the 757 replacement.

+AmericaWest90 Airbus already launched a product that is supposed to replace the 757 (being the a321LR). Who knows whether Boeing will launch a competing aircraft

+Sundar Subramaniam Even though 767s are still being produced, almost all if not all are freighters. The 787 was designed to replace the 767, but there is no 787 freighter. So, FedEx, UPS, and other airlines are still getting the 767F, but no passenger version is really being produced. So, the 767 is basically left to rot as its future is with the 787.

Whole plane. However only exclusive on night time flights.
