Boeing 777 X9
This was the first time I took my Boeing 777 out for a drive test, it performed good except for the engines, they were not powerful enough but I drove it fas. Boeing 777X is getting its engines back for first flight, according to a report from Guy Norris of Aviation Week. The magazine reports that “the first flight compliant GE9X engine has been delivered by General Electric to Boeing, marking the restart of preparations for the start of 777-9 flight tests.” READ: Air New Zealand’s New York to Auckland flight to slash three hours off the journey. CONFIRMED: Singapore Airlines' latest order for 20 Boeing 777-X and 19 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners is now official. This brings the total number of Boeing 787-10s on order to 49. I hope SQ puts 8-across seating in economy and not the squeezy 9-across. Cathay Pacific Airways (Hong Kong) and Boeing (Chicago) today announced the airline’s decision to become Asia’s first 777X customer with an order for 21 777-9X airplanes, as part of Cathay’s future long-haul fleet strategy. The order is valued at more than $7 billion at current list prices. The 777X program was launched at the Dubai Airshow last month where it garnered a record 259.

Boeing launched the B777-9X at the Dubai Air Show on Sunday 17th was the official day of the launch of the Boeing 777-9X.
This week, a 79-page document was posted on Boeing’s website elaborating on the details of the largest 777 variant, the 777-9X, part of its Boeing 777X family. Its release is intended to help prepare airport managers for the new aircraft, even though a large part of the aircraft’s design was to ensure the plane could still operate efficiently on the ground with pre-existing infrastructure.
One of the most unique features on the 777X are the folding wingtips to shorten the wingspan on the ground. This allows for the aircraft to be accommodated at already existing gates, an issue that still continues to hinder the growth and popularity of the Airbus A380. The folded wingspan on the tarmac is 64.82 meters, only a few centimeters wider than the current 777-300ER. However, once the aircraft reaches the runway, it’s wings stretch an additional 7 meters.
The document states the fuselage of the 777-9X will extend an additional 2.9 meters from the 777-300ER while shortening the height of the vertical stabilizer by 17cm.
Within the fuselage, designers managed to increase the interior diameter of the fuselage by 10cm. Even though the seating configuration will remain 10 abreast like the current 777 models, the additional space is huge for the likes of passenger comfort. Each seat in the 10 abreast configuration is a standard 18 inches wide, a whole inch more than most carriers currently have in their 10 abreast 777 aircraft.

Boeing has released two seating configurations for the aircraft, one 3-class configuration with a total of 349 passengers, and a 2-class configuration with a total of 414 passengers.
Hailed as the largest and most fuel efficient twin-engine aircraft designed, the 777-9X has caught the attention of many large airlines, already accumulating several hundreds of orders from airlines such as ANA, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines. The largest order of 150 jets has come from the Middle Eastern giant, Emirates, and their order makes up just under half of all 777X program orders. The plane is planned to be introduced into service in December of 2019.
