The original 777 with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 545,000–660,000 lb (247–299 t) was produced in two fuselage lengths: the initial 777-200 was followed by the extended-range -200ER in 1997; and the 33.25 ft (10.13 m) longer 777-300 in 1998.
The Boeing 777 series is larger than the 787 and thus can carry more passengers. The 787-10 has a higher capacity than the smaller 777-200 series. However, it falls short of the larger 777-300 models by 66 passengers in a typical two-class configuration. Of course, the exact capacity varies from airline to airline.
Ecologically, and compared to previous generation wide-body aircraft, the Dreamliner has avoided more than 85 billion pounds of carbon emissions, achieved 20-25% greater fuel efficiency, realized 20-45% more cargo revenue capacity, and produced a 60% smaller airport noise footprint.
In July 2003, a public naming competition was held for the 7E7, for which out of 500,000 votes cast online the winning title was Dreamliner. Other names included eLiner, Global Cruiser, and Stratoclimber. All Nippon Airways launched the 787 program with an order for 50 aircraft in 2004.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner (Fig. 1.5A) is a family of long-range, midsize wide-body, twin-engine jet airliners that can seat 242–335 passengers in a typical three-class seating configuration.
It was found that Boeing had more accidents than expected, while Airbus had fewer (p = 0.015). In terms of fatalities, Boeing had more than expected, with Airbus fewer (p < 0.001). Looking at accidents alone, only the number of fatalities was statistically significantly different.
While the 777X offers unrivalled dimensions, advanced materials, and cutting-edge engine technology, the A350 shines with its lightweight composite airframe, advanced aerodynamics, and superior fuel efficiency.
Still flying today with several of the world's leading airlines, a new Airbus A380 was listed in 2018 by the European plane maker as costing $445.6 million. It is worth remembering that this was the base price, and that the plane could be more expensive depending on its configuration and other factors.
The Airbus A330-200F is a twin-engine cargo plane. It can carry up to 70 tons of cargo and has a maximum range of 4,000 nautical miles. The A330-200F has highly-efficient operation with less noise and emissions than similar mid-size cargo aircraft.
