The Airplane

The 777, the world’s largest long range, twin-engine airliner, was designed to fill a gap in the Boeing lineup between the 747 and the 767. The facts and figures of aircraft are included below. The 777 is advertised as the most comfortable aircraft flying; within most configurations there is more headroom, legroom, and seat widths than other aircraft. Further the airplane is prewired with fiber optic LANs that can handle everything from individual video screens for every passenger (even coach) to fully interactive stations including video games, FAX, phone, data, and shopping capabilities. The standard is a 5.7 inch LCD screen with six video channels and 19 CD quality audio selections at each seat. The interior of the aircraft is spacious with overhead bins that fully retract into the ceiling allowing 6’ 4" passengers to stand without bumping their heads.
