Historical Note Cont'd:    Commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, the Boeing 777 is the world's largest twinjet. It was originally conceived as a stretched 767, but Boeing instead adopted an all new design. Notable design features include a unique fuselage cross section, Boeing's first application of fly-by-wire, an advanced technology glass flightdeck with five liquid crystal displays, comparatively large scale use of composites (10% by weight), and advanced and extremely powerful engines. The 777 was also offered with optional folding wings where the outer 6m/21ft of each would fold upwards for operations at space restricted airports.

The 777-200, launched in October 1990, was offered in two versions, the basic 777-200 (initially A-Market) and the increased weight longer range 777-200IGW (Increased Gross Weight, initially B-Market). The IGW has since been redesignated 777-200ER.

The 777-200 first flew on June 12, 1994, with FAA and JAA certification awarded on April 19, 1995. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. The first 777-200 built was used by Boeing's non-destructive testing (NDT) campaign in 1994 and 1995, and provided valuable data for the -200ER and -300 programs.

The 777-200 is available with a maximum take-off weight from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles. As of August 2007, a total of 84 aircraft were in service.

Each model comes with a beautiful mahogany-based chrome pedestal and undergoes several stages of quality control before being put in its box.
