Boeing 777 according to various world ratings, the safest aircraft. Boeing 777 (Boeing 777) - wide-body turbojet airliner for long-haul airlines. The aircraft has been in development since 1991. The first aircraft entered service on June 7, 1995. The Boeing 777 is powered by two General Electric GE90 turbofan engines. Boeing 777 aircraft can carry from 300 to 550 passengers.

The Boeing 777 was developed entirely on computers. During the development of the airliner, not a single paper drawing was produced. All documentation was created using a 3D design program. In addition, the Boeing 777 set a flight range record for aircraft with a take-off weight of 250-300 tons on the Seattle (USA) - Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) route with a length of 20,045 kilometers. The record was set on April 2, 1997. In 2013, the world record for the flight range was exceeded and the Boeing 777 covered a distance of 21501 kilometers. The Boeing 777 can fly to any airport in the world with virtually no landing. The Boeing 777 has become very popular with all airlines and passengers. Several modifications of the aircraft have been developed since the 90s. The Boeing 777 family aircraft have crew rest areas: two chairs and two beds.

In total, Boeing 777 aircraft (all models) were produced for 2012 - 1,372 units.

Economy class salon. The Boeing 777 economy class cabin can accommodate up to 555 passengers. The interior is made in the style of the Boeing Signature Interior. The salon has enlarged luggage racks and the interior lighting is made according to the indirect lighting scheme. In the economy version, the salon is equipped with ten seats in a row. Compared to previous Boeing aircraft models, the 777 has larger windows. In 2011, Boeing decided to change the interior of the Boeing 777. The interior of the Boeing 787 was taken as a basis. This program is called the common cabin experience.

Business and VIP class salon. In the 1st class (business class) cabin there are 6 seats in a row. Business class cabins have more free space for passengers. The 1st class salon is equipped with more comfortable seats. Some Boeing 777 aircraft are equipped with VIP-class cabins. All conditions for a comfortable flight are created in the VIP cabins. Chairs can be transformed into a full bed. The airline Salon Imperial Boeing 777. Transaero has equipped several Boeing 777 saloons Imperial. Salon Imperial was created for those who love luxury and comfort. Salon Imperial is the highest achievement of civil aviation service. The passenger of the Imperial cabin has individual attention and excellent service. The best employees of the company work on board the Imperial cabin. The armchairs of the Imperial saloon have gold upholstery and can be reclined 180 degrees, turning into a bed. The armchairs are located so that there is a porthole near each (possibly two portholes). The Boeing 777 Imperial salons have excellent cuisine: they serve dishes from sterlet, venison, caviar and quail eggs. Also, passengers can taste the desserts of French pastry chefs.

Boeing 777 circuit

Boeing 777-200
The first Boeing modification. The first commercial flight took place on May 15, 1995. The Boeing 777-200 was designed for US domestic lines. The aircraft is designed for lines up to 8300 kilometers long. Boeing 777-200 is the base model. Boeing 777-200 aircraft were developed specifically for US domestic traffic. The first Boeing 777-200 was purchased by United Airlines.

Boeing 777-200ER
Boeing 777-200 ER aircraft were purchased by the Russian airline Transaero. The Boeing 777-200ER is designed for extended range airlines. Boeing 777-200 ER aircraft are intended for transatlantic flights. ER (Extended Range) index means extended range aircraft. The Boeing 777-200ER set a record-breaking single-engine flight (ETOPS emergency flight) of two hours 57 minutes. The Boeing 777-200ER is the world's best-selling aircraft. In 2013, more than 500 777 model aircraft are operated in the world.

Boeing 777-300
The Boeing 777-300 differs from the Boeing 777-200 in a more elongated fuselage (more by 11 meters) and more efficient engines (savings up to 40%). The Boeing 777-300 is intended to replace the Boeing 747. The 777 is not inferior to the 747 in terms of spaciousness and flight range, but surpasses in terms of comfort and better flight qualities. The first flight of the Boeing 777-300 took place on May 21, 1998. In 2010, Boeing developed a modification of the Boeing 777-300 ER for long-range airlines. Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft were purchased by Emirates for flights to Russia. Emirates operates 86 Boeing 777 aircraft. Boeing 777-300 were purchased by airlines: Air Canada, Singapore Airlines, Air France (for the French airline, the Boeing 777 Freighter model was produced and is a cargo version of the Boeing 777),

Boeing 777F
The Boeing 777F is a cargo variant of the Boeing 777-200 ER. Boeing can fly over 9,000 kilometers with maximum load. Boeing plans to convert the first Boeing 777-200 and Boeing 777-300 aircraft into cargo variants under the Boeing Converted Freighter program and will be designated Boeing 777 BCF.

The best seats in the Boeing 777

The best seats depend on the interior layout. We can say about common signs:
- it is better to buy seats at the emergency exit, there is more space,
- Comfort seats (from 11 to 16 row in a Boeing 777-300),
- any seats in three chairs, but not in front of the toilet,
- relatively more favorable places next to the aisle, for a while you can stretch your legs,
- when assembling a Boeing 777 according to the 2-5-2 scheme, when flying together, it is better to take paired ones at the window.
- in all economy Boeing 777 salons - the closer the seat is to the bow, the greater the distance between the rows.
- the largest shaking is felt in the tail, least of all in the wings,
- when the flight is not loaded, it happens that there are no neighbors at all and there is more freedom than necessary.

Uses 6 Boeing 777-200ER aircraft for long-haul or high-traffic flights. These aircraft are configured in two classes of service: business and economic. The passenger capacity of the airliner is 393 people.

Let's take a closer look at the configuration of the cabin and find out which seats are the best and which are not.

1 row is the only one in business class. Conveniences in this row correspond to the class as much as possible: the distance from the seat to the partition declared by the airline is 127 cm. The seats are distributed in pairs.

Economy class begins with row 5. According to information from the airline, the distance between the rows is 74 cm. It should be noted that in these aircraft the seats are arranged according to the 3-4-3 scheme, which is not very convenient for passengers. The disadvantage is associated with the cramped cabin.

Near places in 5th and 6th row there are both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages include the fact that there is a solid partition in front of the passengers, which serves as the border between the "business" and "economy" classes. There is plenty of knee room, but it will be difficult to straighten your legs. In addition, during the entire flight you will have to look at the wall.

The advantages of such places include the fact that no one will recline the back of the chair on you, which is very important when making long flights and a short distance in the aisle.

All chairs in 12, 13 and 14 rows (Besides 12K, 12J and 12H) may have limited backrest deflection. An inconvenience is the proximity to the galley.

Have 20 rows there are the same advantages and disadvantages as the 5th row. But in front of the passengers will not be the partition of the salons, but the wall of the restrooms. The close placement of toilets causes inconvenience associated with the constant walking of passengers, slamming doors and the sounds of a tank being flushed, etc.

IN 21 row (D, E, F, G) also inconvenient due to the proximity to toilets, but there is enough free legroom.

Places 21H and 21C could be called comfortable, if not for the close location of the restrooms.

In addition to all the above disadvantages, queues can accumulate near passengers, elbow or step on their feet.

IN 38 and 39 rows the backs of the seats may not recline or be limited in this. Also, the neighborhood with toilets causes discomfort.

Some modifications of this airliner have 1-2 rows, where there are no windows. In this cabin layout, similar seats are located in the middle section (rows 20-39). We advise you to check this information with the airline representative in advance.

45 row located near the escape hatches, so there is plenty of legroom. The same restrooms interfere with a comfortable flight, next to which queues constantly accumulate and you have to endure extraneous noises and odors.

Places 46 rows (D, E, F, G) hit the toilet wall. Of course, no one will throw the back of the chair on you, but in a wide-body layout with two aisles, looking at the wall during a long flight is tiresome.

Places in 53 row (C and H) - the latter are in the 3-4-3 layout, further the fuselage narrows, the back of these seats can be touched by passing passengers or flight attendants with carts.

IN 54-56 rows the seats are 2-4-2, a little more convenient, especially if you are flying in pairs.

Last 57 and 58 rows most likely have fixed seat backs. Also, places are located near toilets and other technical rooms. Bad places.

The Boeing 777, or the Boeing Three Sevens as it is called, is a large family of wide-body passenger airliners designed for long haul airlines. The aircraft was developed in the early 1990s, it made its first flight in 1994, and has been in operation since 1995. It is curious that the Boeing 777 became the world's first commercial airliner, 100% developed on computers: so, during the entire development period, not a single paper drawing was issued!

The airliners of the Boeing-777 family are capable of accommodating from 305 to 550 tourists, depending on the configuration of the cabins, they have a flight range from 9.1 to 17.5 thousand km. In addition, the Boeing 777 aircraft set an absolute record for the range for passenger airliners, namely 21 "601 thousand km."

The Boeing 777 is the world's largest twin-engine jet airliner. The engines produced by General Electric GE90, installed on it, are by far the largest and most powerful jet engines in the history of aviation. A distinctive feature of these aircraft is also the 6-wheel landing gear.

If you are planning a long trip and have already chosen a route, the next step you should take is to decide on the model of the aircraft on which you will fly. This is not easy for an inexperienced tourist, therefore in this article we offer an overview of the Boeing 777 200 aircraft model with a cabin layout, thanks to which it will be easier for you to decide what to look for when.

The Boeing 777 200 was put into production and made its maiden flight in 1994. Since then, it has been actively used by leading airlines for long-distance and intercontinental flights. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is the first aircraft that was completely designed using computer graphics. In 1997, he set a real record in passenger aviation - he made a round-the-world trip over a distance of 37 thousand km with the longest landing in just 2 hours! And in 2003, an unprecedented incident occurred that proved the high safety of this transport - after the failure of one of the two jet engines, it flew another 177 minutes, allowing the crew to successfully land and save hundreds of passengers.

According to the numerous reviews of passengers who flew on the Boeing 777 200, its main advantages can be distinguished:

  • soft takeoff and landing;
  • low noise level - the engines are practically inaudible even in the tail section;
  • the salon is equipped with a modern video system with high quality screens mounted in the backs of the seats;
  • in the Boeing 777 200, the backrests of business class seats are distinguished by increased comfort and ergonomics;
  • the backs of the chairs recline almost to a horizontal position, they are equipped with special powerful reading lamps, as well as supports for the lumbar spine and massage systems;
  • convenient fold-down shelves for hand luggage.

Depending on the configuration of the Boeing 777 200, its capacity ranges from 306 to 550 seats. Most often, airbuses are used, accommodating 306 and 323 passengers, divided into 3 or 4 service classes (in addition to the standard three, the Imperial class is sometimes introduced). At the same time, the interior is so spacious that it allows you to feel comfortable even when full.

Boeing 777 200

The Boeing 777 200, like others, has the "best seats", there is a standard, and there are those that can cause some inconvenience. In order to decide what is right for you, you should familiarize yourself with the Boeing 777 200 seat layout and their features.

For example, let's take a standard Boeing 777 200 plan with 323 seats, no imperial class.

  • 11-26 row -, seats with a higher level of comfort. However, it should be noted that the first and last rows can create some inconvenience. For example, tall people may find it difficult to place their legs in the first row, because of the partition, and in the last row, for the same reason, it may be difficult to recline the back completely. Also, some passengers may be confused by the proximity of toilets, near which queues can accumulate. For the same reasons, rows Nos. 30, 50, 51, 64 should be avoided;
  • seats C and G of row 52 will appeal to those who like to stretch their legs on a long flight - there are no seats in front of them.

In the diagram presented, open squares indicate standard seats, red - clearly uncomfortable seats, yellow - those to which there are comments from passengers. The best spots are marked in green.

Please also note that seat and aisle widths vary from class to class. For example, the width between the rows in the premium class is 125 cm, while the economy class is only 21 cm.

The aircraft code is 772. ER stands for Extended Range and translates as extended range. The maximum flight range of the liner is 13,900 km.

The first flight took place in November 1996. In February 1997, the first aircraft was received by British Airways.

Engines: Pratt & Whitney 4090 orRolls-Royce Trent 895 or General Electric 90-94B.

Boeing 777-200ER cabin

The liner takes on board 314 passengers in a standard three-class layout. 16 in first class, 58 in business class, 240 in economy class. There are 400 passengers in the two-class cabin. In a single-class layout 440. Different airlines may have different seating arrangements. To find out exactly how many seats are in the Boeing 777-200ER, you need to look at the cabin diagram of a particular carrier.

The Boeing 777 has a wide cabin. Airlines are able to select the layout that best suits the market needs on specific routes at a given time. On busy destinations, it is possible to significantly increase passenger density and prevent a critical deterioration in comfort.

The latest B777 models are equipped with a dynamic LED lighting system that changes based on activity in the cabin. The brightest light when passengers take their seats. Other modes of illumination: flight, rest, eating, landing, sleep.
