Despite the fact that the Boeing 747 aircraft are still being used successfully to this day, the well-known company that manufactures them has begun research to create better and more modern liners. Ultimately, in 1994, the first aircraft, model 777-300, took off. Unlike earlier Boeing jets, it is larger and can travel far longer without refueling.
The model 777-200 became the direct basis for the creation of this aircraft. The Boeing 777-300 differs from it by a fuselage extended by 10.3 m, as well as by the presence of additional cameras. The first modification significantly strengthened the fuselage itself, as well as the tail wheel and landing gear. As for additional video cameras, they are needed here to assist pilots in the process of maneuvering directly at the airport.
Boeing 777-300 is capable of carrying about 550 passengers. However, this becomes possible if there is only one economy class. If the aircraft has 2 classes, then the number of passenger seats is reduced to 479. In the same case, when the liner includesseats of 3 classes, the maximum number of passengers is 386. In the economy class, the seats in most of the cabin are installed in 11 rows according to the formula 3 + 5 + 3. As for the business class, here the seats are arranged in 9 rows (3+3+3). In the first class, the seats are installed in 6 rows (2+2+2). For the full control of the liner, it is necessary that the crew includes two pilots.
The Boeing 777-300 has a fairly large size. Its length is 73.86 m, and its height is 18.51 m. At the same time, the diameter of the fuselage is 6.1 m. The wingspan of this Boeing model is 60.93 m, and their total area is 427.8 m.
An empty aircraft of this type weighs 160 tons. However, it is able to take to the air even if its mass is increased to 263 tons.
Without any refueling, this airliner is capable of flying 11,029 km. At the same time, its cruising speed is 893 km / h. It can fly to a height of 13,100 m. This aircraft is equipped with various engine options: PW4098, General Electric GE90-92B, and Rolls Royce Trent 892.
Based on the Boeing 777-300, the developers from the company have already managed to create a rather interesting and high-quality modification. This aircraft differs from its "ancestor" in several ways. We are talking about the Boeing 777-300 ER. Firstly, it has a slightly more spacious interior. Secondly, this airliner has increased the basic functionality, and it is able to fly even further than the 777-300 model. Whereinflight safety has only improved. Thirdly, the new model has improved wingtips. In addition, instead of the General Electric GE90-92 engine, the modification provides for a more modern power unit - the General Electric GE90-115B.
Today, the Boeing 777-300, together with its improved version, is the most spacious airliner capable of flying over long distances. Despite the fact that it carries a large number of passenger seats on its board, moving around the cabin of this aircraft is surprisingly easy, even if we are talking about economy class. The interior design of the cabin is done quite well. It uses calm, even lighting that promotes good rest.
