Boeing 777-300ER
The initial Boeing 777 variant was introduced in 1995 with United Airlines. Nearly a decade later, the first Boeing 777-300ER was delivered to launch customer Air France in 2004. The ER is for ‘extended range’ and this airplane has a flight range of 13,650 kilometres.
The B77W is 74 metres or 242 feet in length with a wingspan of 65 metres or 213 feet. At the tail, the Boeing 777-300ER is 9 metres or 61 feet in height. Compared to the iconic Boeing 747-400, the B77W is actually ten feet longer but slightly shorter at the tail.
