In the demonstrator plane, much of the space inside the cabin is currently taken up by testing stations, along with huge water tanks used to balance the aircraft during test conditions.Īlthough the aircraft has the same external width as the 777, its side walls are thinner, so there’s enough room for 10 18-inch wide seats in economy. Measuring 251 feet, the aircraft can seat 426 passengers in a standard two-class configuration, and is longer than both its predecessor the 777-300ER (242 feet 4 inches) and the Airbus A350-1000, which has a length of just over 242 feet. Visitors onboard the 777-9X, a test version of Boeing's 777X, during the Farnborough Airshow in the UK. One of the most noticeable things about the experimental plane, aside from the fact that it’s filled with monitoring equipment, is just how huge it is. The 777X follows on from the popular but aging 777-300ER, and looks set to become one of the aircraft manufacturer’s key airliners. The 777 has been a big success for Boeing since it began service in 1995, and remains the best selling wide-body aircraft. Now expected to debut in 2025, the airplane’s most striking exterior feature is undoubtedly its folding wingtips – a first for commercial aviation.īut what will it look like from the inside? This month, Boeing proudly showcased a test-version of the 777-9X, one of two 777X variants, at the Farnborough Airshow, a UK-based aviation trade event, providing a hint of what passengers can expect. The "Triple Seven" as it is also called, is the world's second largest twin-engine airliner and has now been converted one to one for X-Plane.Described as “the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet,” the Boeing 777X was originally scheduled to enter into service in 2020, but the launch of the jetliner has been beset by delays. The Boeing 777, a superlative of a long-range airliner is now also available for your flight simulator at home. Thanks to technical input from engineers, pilots and the Boeing © Corporation, one of the most advanced and complex simulations of an aircraft for X-Plane has been created.
