The Boeing 777-300ER (Extended Range) is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner and the most successful variant of the 777 family. It entered service in 2004 and quickly became the dominant aircraft for ultra-long-haul international routes, offering airlines a combination of high capacity, fuel efficiency, and exceptional range. Powered exclusively by GE Aviation GE90-115B engines—the most powerful commercial jet engines ever certified—the 777-300ER can carry up to around 396 passengers in a typical three-class configuration across ranges exceeding 13,000 km. Its high gross weight and advanced aerodynamics allow it to operate routes previously requiring four-engine aircraft. The 777-300ER became one of Boeing's best-selling widebody aircraft, with hundreds delivered to airlines worldwide. It is being gradually supplemented by the newer 777X family, though it remains in widespread service and production continues on a reduced scale.

Encyclopaedia

The Boeing 777, commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, is an American long-range wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777 is the world's largest twinjet and the most-built wide-body airliner. The jetliner was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's other wide body airplanes, the twin-engined 767 and quad-engined 747, and to replace aging DC-10 and L-1011 trijets. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 program was launched in October 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype aircraft rolled out in April 1994, and first flew that June. The 777 entered service with the launch operator United Airlines in June 1995. Longer-range variants were launched in 2000, and first delivered in 2004. Over 2,300 Boeing 777 aircraft have been ordered, with over 70 operators worldwide.
