The Boeing 777 is a very well known wide bodied airliner designed and made by Boeing and better known as the "triple seven". The 777 was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's 767 and 747, and to exchange older DC-10s or L-1011s. Developed in consultation with eight large airlines in a primary meeting held in 1990, The program was launched in October 1990 with a primary order from United Airlines. The prototype was unrolled on April 9, 1994, and first flew on June 12, 1994. The 777 first entered commercial service with United in June , 1995. Longer range variants were launched on leap day , 2000 and were first delivered on April 29, 2004.

The original 777 with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 545,000–660,000 lb (247–299 tonnes) was produced in two fuselage lengths: the initial -200 was followed by the extended-range 777-200ER in 1997; and a 33.25 ft (10.13 m) longer 777-300 in 1998. These 777's were powered with 77,200–98,000 lbf (343–436 kN) General Electric GE-90, P & W PW4000, or R-R Trent 800 engines. The longer range 777-300ER with a MTOW of 766,000–775,000 lb (347–352 tonnes) entered service in 2004, the ultra long-range 777-200LR in 2006, and 777F freighter in 2009. These end of the day variants feature 110,000–115,300 lbf (489–513 kN) GE90 engines and extended raked wingtips.
