Winging It: The 777X Full Circle


It is time to go full circle with the 777X Back in 2012 I started with: 

It was December 30, 2012, almost eight years ago I appreciated the Boeing 777  from this posting blog site. It was the beginning of this blog. And now we have the 777X mega bird going through test flights, with everything 787 at its fingertips for its parts bin, plus a wider cabin than the Airbus XWB A350 family of Airbus aircraft. Link-back above to gain an appreciation for 2012 renderings and data with the new 777X which is longer and wider than that first summary report for the 777-300-ER offered in late 2012.

Notice the 2012 777X had no folding wings but had everything else in the size constraints. Shuttle little changes have made the 777X much improved since 2012’s estimations. Dig into the 2012 blog article and know that the 777X is going to rock the aviation world opposite of what COVID-19 has done to it.
