777
I can agree with that
I mean the 777 is going to be around longer than either the A380 or the 74 at this point
Well 747 has still reigned far longer than the A380. And 747 will continue awhile as a cargo plane even if not doing passenger services any more
But in the long run dual engines will prevail as they get better and better and more efficient
They ever get the 777 max out? I’ve kinda been out of aviation 2 1/2ish years and am trying to get back into it
There is no 777 max

Also I hear that some A380s are being converted to cargo
777x
God damnit
And yes it's flying
Sweet
I was following that planes development when it wasn’t flying
Biggest mistake I’ve made is taking a break from following stuff
They're flying four
Still in testing I’m assuming?
Yes. It's not going to enter passenger service until 2022 at least.
I do think it's almost ready
Well that’s good too know. Can’t wait to see it flying commercial
Its cockpit design is pretty much the same as the 787's
Yeah. Not really surprising tbh
It's basically a 777 with 787 technology
It's not like the 737 MAX
Yes I've seen people compare the two
Because a 775,000 pound plane is comparable with a 220,000 pound one
No. And hopefully those maxes will not have any more issues
The 777X is the largest twinjet ever constructed
Really irritates me seeing over and over seeing people who have not a clue about flying hunks of metal talk about the max like they know what they are saying. All the hateful people are just echoing news
I actually didn’t know that, that’s cool
It will be the longest airliner built
It will also have the second greatest wingspan
After the A380 of course
Knew the wing span, they still doing the folding wingtip thing?
Yes
They're doing it so it can operate at airports the regular 777 can
It's 9 feet longer than the A350-1000
Has a higher capacity
Yeah, they don’t want to have to replace stuff for the wings
That was an issue with the A380. Its wingspan was so big that airports had to be overhauled to accommodate it
