The Boeing 777X flight test program is gathering pace with four aircraft now involved and the GE 9X engine certified.
The first three images are from Woodys Aeroimages (@AeroimagesChris) and show the second test frame #N779XX returning to BFI after a flight on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon.
The next image by Ryan Scottini (@ryan_scottini) shows a face-off with a 777X at the Southern California Logistics Airport in Victorville.
Michael Heimann (@pytolson) has captured this great desert shot of N779XX at Yuma International Airport.
@leo_ylp captured this shot of the 777X at Spokane Airport.
The 777-9 seats 426 passengers in a typical two-class configuration, with a range of 7,285 nautical miles (13,500 km). The 777-9 will have the lowest operating cost per seat of any commercial airplane says, Boeing.
The 777-8 seats 384 passengers with a range capability of up to 8,730 nautical miles (16,170 km). Boeing says that range is only just part of the story.
The 777-8 also has the capacity to provide more revenue through more payload and improved fuel efficiency at both short and long ranges. This capability also allows the 777-8 to carry that increased payload at more challenging airports such as those constrained by high altitudes or hot temperatures.
