Boeing 777 has become a classic among modern passenger liners. It is also called "three sevens". This is a whole family of aircraft with a wide fuselage, which is represented by several modifications. These aircraft can be found in many.
This passenger liner designed for routes of different lengths. Compared to other aircraft, it is more powerful, economical and environmentally friendly. On the passenger capacity of the Boeing 777 and its others technical specifications we will talk in this article.
In the 70s of the last century the company faced a serious problem in updating outdated models and in creating such aircraft that could compete with.
His prototypes steel and . If you look at the photo of the Boeing 777, you can see that it is similar to these models.
When creating the aircraft, the opinion of the passengers themselves was taken into account, which is why it became the most consumer-successful in the history of the company. It was completely developed on a computer and assembled on it. There are simply no paper drawings of this aircraft. This is also the reason why many manufacturing errors have been avoided.
Early 90s Boeing began to design. The first company to use it is United Airlines. She started using it on her flights 5 years later.
Emirates Boeing 777.
The company with the most Boeing 777s in its fleet is Emirates. In 2012 she got 1000 who joined to 102 by plane, then available in the company's park.
To date, a modification of this series 777LR is an aircraft that is capable of covering the longest distances.
Specifications
This aircraft was specially designed for long haul routes. He is able to contain from 305 to 550 passengers. Much depends on the layout of the cabin, but the total capacity varies in the area.
The technical characteristics of the Boeing 777 are far superior to the previous families of the company. The liner can cover distances from 9.1 to 17.5 thousand kilometers. He has already managed to set a record for the distance of flights - 21,601 km.
The largest among passenger liners with two turbofan engines. They are produced by General Electric GE90 that made them as powerful as possible.
Another feature that distinguishes it from other types of liners is the presence 6 wheels at landing gear. 9% of the entire fuselage made of carbon-based materials, which is a novelty in aviation technology.
The cockpit.
Innovations have also been made in the cockpit. From a digital fly-by-wire control system to an avionics fiber optic network.
Boeing 777 speed in flight - 905 km/h The maximum speed can reach 965 km/h
Its length is 63.73 m and its height is 18.52 m. The wingspan is 60.93 m How much does a Boeing 777 weigh? If it is empty, then 135,870 kg. At takeoff, the maximum weight is 262 470 kg.
Salon features

Were added special rooms where the crew could rest. They are located above the main cabin and are specially equipped with a ladder for this. There are two chairs and two beds in the front and rear of the liner.
Members of the 777 family
To designate the types of aircraft of this family, two characteristics are taken as a basis - fuselage length and range. The first one defines how much cargo and passengers the plane can take. Released versions of the 777-200 are the main types, and the 777-300 was developed in 98th year as an extended version.
If we consider the range of flights, then here the aircraft are divided into three groups or segments:
- A - up to 4200 nautical miles;
- B - up to 6600;
- C - up to 7800.
It was the first aircraft model for segment A. It was created primarily for flights within the United States.
Boeing 777-200ER
The letters ER stand for Extended Range, which means “increased range” in English. From the name it is clear for what purpose it was developed. It can take more fuel. Capable of carrying heavy loads up to hundreds of tons.
Boeing 777-200ER.
He set a record when he was able to fly on one engine for 177 minutes. This could not be done by any passenger airliner in the world, except for the Boeing!
Boeing 777-200LR
The added letters have the meaning of Longer Range or Longer Range. It can fly to almost any, the most remote airport in the world. It was specially designed for very long flights.
Boeing 777-200LR.
He has three fuel tanks, and he can take on board even more cargo.. Its other features are bevelled wingtips. Him updated the landing gear and strengthened the airframe.
This is a longer model designed to replace the 747-100 and 747-200 variants. It differs from these aircraft in terms of fuel economy and other materials.
Boeing 777-300ER
Two additional letters indicate that the aircraft is capable of flying over longer distances. His wingtips oblique and elongated. The front strut is reinforced. There are additional fuel tanks. In this model, the engines are ahead of all the others installed on aircraft in terms of power.

Boeing 777 Freighter
This is a cargo plane. in this family. He is able to take on board almost 103 tons, but can fly over distances up to 9,047 km.
Boeing 777 Freighter.
In 2013 Boeing Corporation began the development of this new model. It has not yet been launched into mass production, but it is planned to do so. by 2020. It will be a very large but economical aircraft.
Its capacity will be 353 passengers. It will be longer than previous models. It is planned to change the wing twist and fairings in order to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft. This will give him an advantage over all other liners in the world.
Air travel has long become an everyday event for passengers, they arrive at the airport at the appointed time, go through control, wait for boarding, and get on board. Most of us do not even think about how much knowledge and achievements it took for the developers to lift such a machine into the air, ensure the safety of those on board, and make their journey comfortable.
Features of the aircraft of this class
Depending on the airline, flight distance and passenger traffic, you may be on board a small or big plane. You should not focus only on size, talking about comfort and trust in the carrier, because even small models compared to their "colleagues" can be durable and hardy. In Russia, Boeing 777 300 is increasingly used to transport passengers. This is a twin-engine aircraft, so it cannot be the largest and most powerful in the world. However, the Boeing 777 300 manufacturers have found their niche for it - it is the largest aircraft in its class. The use of technical capabilities to the maximum attracted airlines, and since 1998 this aircraft entered service for the first time. The positive dynamics of behavior in the airspace and the minimum percentage of breakdowns according to statistics made the Boeing 777 300 one of the most proven.
Aircraft design data
The general layout of the Boeing 777 300 naturally depends on the design features. This model has an elongated fuselage, which allows it to develop high speed,
better to cope with the flow of oncoming air.
In addition, it increased the overall capacity of the aircraft. The maximum takeoff weight is from 263,080 to 299,370 kg, with a weight excluding passengers and cargo of 155,500 - 158,480 kg.
Of course, Boeing 777 300 passengers do not see all this. The layout of the cabin for them is limited to the passenger compartment. The width of the cabin is 5.87 m. This is enough for the comfort of passengers and the convenience of flight attendants who serve food and drinks.
Counting passengers on board
The number of seats on the aircraft may vary. This is due to the fact that the interior decoration depends on the class for which the board is designed. If this is an economy class aircraft, the seats are located at the same distance throughout the aircraft, saving space allows you to make their number maximum - 550 seats. There are separate flights that are popular with economy class passengers, and models of this issue can be selected for them. The combination of basic and business class demonstrates the company's marketing move, because the total number of people will be 479, but some of them will pay almost twice as much for a ticket. There are models with greater variability, for example, a combination of economy, business and first class. There will be 368 seats. It is worth considering that this Boeing model has an improved version - ER. Here there will be fewer seats in the last of the presented methods of filling the cabin, namely 365. This is not the general layout of the "Boeing 777 300". "Transaero" re-equipped the aircraft to suit its needs, and the rest of domestic and foreign companies did the same. If the manufacturer offered 3 types of passenger service programs, then there are 4 of them: imperial, business, economy, tourist. In this regard, the total number of seats is 373.
Salon design
The interior of the aircraft is made with the inclusion of curved smooth lines. They make the interior look more modern. They also allow you to increase the volume of luggage compartments above the seats and hide the lighting in the folds of the ceiling, making it indirect.
There are toilets and kitchens on board, which are easily moved if the company wants to refit the aircraft. The armchairs of the cabin are arranged in three, forming three columns, in each of the rows of which there are 9 seats. This is convenient, since you can approach the passenger from two sides. For those who like to sit by the window, there are many accommodation options, you just need to have time to register for the desired place. Judging by convenience, it is more logical to choose one of the outer seats in the middle row, because it will not be blocked by other passengers, and you will not have to lift people to get out on your own. Traditionally, the total number of toilets on board is 7, passengers visit one or the other, focusing on the ticket class and proximity.
Secrets of choosing a good seat on an airplane
For those who are preparing to fly on a Boeing 777 300, the cabin layout, the best seats will be of most interest. Consider one of the modifications of the cabin, which is most often used in the CIS.
The Imperial compartment is located in close proximity to the access hatch and behind the cockpit. This zone is considered the most comfortable in terms of pressure, besides, passengers are served here in the first place. This class is expensive, so only 4 seats are provided for it, one at the windows and two in the center of the cabin. Here for each passenger there is more space, which allows you to lie down, making a long flight. The armchair folds out 180 degrees, besides, it is equipped with a 23-inch monitor.
After some bounding space comes the Business sector. Here, there are 2 places at the windows, and 3 in the center, 2 rows are provided. In total, 14 passengers can be accommodated here. The level of comfort is also high, the chair takes on an almost horizontal position, there is enough space for everyone.
Of course, both of the described classes are the best, but, alas, not cheap places.
Budget accommodation
Economy class is the most popular type of travel. What do you need to know about places? There are 133 of them, each with a small monitor and a limited amount of space. As always, the first and last rows are controversial in terms of comfort. Row number 10 will rest against the wall of the toilet. Fasteners for baby carriages are installed here, and the tables are mounted and not removed.
However, the inconvenience is offset by a large amount of legroom, which will be relevant for tall passengers. Row number 26 is also located near the wall. The seats here do not recline, and if you fly for more than 3 hours, it can become unbearable. The toilet door will constantly slam, and suffering will crowd around you, so avoid these places when checking in for a flight.
Tourist class includes 222 seats. The "first" rows here are No. 27 and 40, and the "last" ones are 39 and 52. This is not convenient places. If you have no choice and have to choose a seat in these rows, prefer seats A or K, they are by the window and will save you at least a fraction
The Boeing 777-300 is the world's largest twin-engine turbofan passenger airliner designed for long-haul flights (flight range up to 11,000 km). This model was put into commercial operation in 1998, the first aircraft was handed over to Cathay Pacific.

- You need to take it from the porthole (A, K) if you are going to get up only in case of emergency or want to enjoy the view (but no one guarantees it - it depends on the time of day and the weather), an obvious plus is that other passengers who need to get up do not bother;
- At the aisle (C, D, G, H) - you can get up freely without waiting for the neighbors in the row, but this is where the minus comes from: if the passengers nearby turn out to be restless, you will have to get up and let them through;
- The middle seats are always considered the worst: there are no personal armrests (one can only hope for passenger ethics), there is no free access to the porthole and the aisle. The second option for unsuccessful places is near the toilets.

The Boeing 777-300 is a passenger aircraft designed for medium and long haul airlines. The Boeing 777-300 is part of a family of wide-body, twin-engine aircraft, its length is 73.86 meters with a wingspan of 60.93 meters. In terms of passenger capacity and flight range, it corresponds to the Boeing 747-100 and 747-200 aircraft, but surpasses them in fuel efficiency by 30%, and in operating costs - by 40%, which led to the displacement of these models by the Boeing 777-300.
The interior of the Boeing 777-300 features curved lines, oversized luggage racks and indirect lighting. The layout of the cabin allows airlines to quickly move seats, kitchens and toilets depending on the desired configuration. Seat configurations range from four in a row in first class to ten in economy class. Some aircraft are equipped with VIP lounges for charter flights. The 380×250 mm portholes are the largest before the advent of the Boeing 787. The toilet has been improved - a new hydraulic toilet lid hinge has been applied, which closes slowly.
In March 1997, the construction of the first prototype aircraft began, and on May 21, 1998, flight tests were completed and the first Cathay Pacific aircraft was delivered. The main customers of the Boeing 777-300 aircraft are the airlines of the countries of the Pacific region - Japan Airlines, Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines”, “Russia” and others. 60 aircraft were sold to eight airlines. All aircraft are still in operation. However, after launching in 2004 Boeing models 777-300ER Long Range, all customers have changed their order for this modification.

With a standard layout, about 330 people fit in the economy class cabin. Armchairs are usually arranged according to the principle: 9 seats or 10 seats in a row (3:4:3). According to tourists, the Boeing 777-300 is generally a very comfortable airliner.
The best seats on a Boeing 777-300 in a three-class layout
- 1st to 5th row Business class seats- quite comfortable. Each row has six seats in a 2:2:2 arrangement. The chairs are wide, comfortable, soft and there is a lot of space between them.
- 11-16 rows of comfort class. The distance between the seats is slightly reduced, however, the arrangement of the seats 2:4:2 is not bad. The minus of row 11 is that the partition in front of the seats is too close and there is a toilet nearby, which can interfere with your peace of mind during the flight.
- 17 row- this is the first row of the economy class, there are no neighbors in front, so the seats will not recline on you, and you can straighten your legs as you like. Only in this row side seats are arranged in pairs.
- 18 row, places C and H. There are no neighbors in front, so there is plenty of legroom. These places are located in the middle of the aircraft. Rolling during the crossing of the turbulence zone will be minimally noticeable.
- 24 row located after the emergency exits, there are no neighbors ahead, but there is a toilet nearby - for some this is a minus, for some it is a plus. When traveling with children, the nearby toilet is very convenient.
- 38 row, as well as 24 row- there is an emergency exit and a kitchen room nearby. These seats have plenty of leg room.
- 47-49 rows, places AS NK- here the side seats are arranged in pairs, these are comfortable places for flying together.
The Boeing 777-300 has seats that have both advantages and disadvantages. So, places like:
- 12 row, places C, D, G, H. All these places are side by the aisle. There will often be people going to the toilet, so they can interfere with you, since the passages themselves are not very wide.
- 20 row, window seats. Some airlines do not have a window.
- 23, 36, 50 row- these are the last places before the exits, the backs of the seats may have restrictions or not recline at all. There is a toilet at the back, so some fuss is possible, and the outer seats can be hurt by passengers passing by.
There are no bad seats on the Boeing 777. Each seat has pros and cons, but most of all have minuses:
37, 51 rows- they are located in front of the buffet and the toilet, the walls of these rooms will prevent you from reclining your backs completely. In addition, the extreme seats - D and G can be touched by the cabin crew's carts and passengers.
Rossiya is a subsidiary of Aeroflot. Since April 2016 Rossiya Airlines has been aircraft assigns city names Russian Federation. On the nose of the fuselage under the cockpit is the name and coat of arms of the city.

- Between 48 and 49 side by side and before 21 side by side economy class there are toilets for passengers with disabilities.
- For a flight with babies, it is better to choose seats AB DEF HK 5 rows, ABC DEF GHK 21 rows, DEF 36 rows or ABC GHK 50 rows, as they are equipped with attachments for baby cradles.
- Seats 21, 36, 49 rows located behind emergency exits, resulting in these seats with increased legroom. If you are not confused by the proximity to the toilets, then these are good places.
- 35, 48, 61 rows less comfortable due to limited backrest adjustment. But places BA and KH double, not triple. For those traveling as a couple, this is a kind of convenience.

Thailand Airways
Thai Airways has a fleet of six Boeing 777-300s. For flights to Russia, a two-class configuration is used, accommodating 34 seats in business class and 330 in economy class.
Business Class:
- Business class occupies five rows and starts from 11 to 16 rows. Armchairs are conveniently laid out, their width is 51 cm, the distance between rows is 155 cm. This class has the most varied menu and high-quality service.
- 11 row located just behind the partition, there are mounts for baby cradles, so for flights with babies - this is the best option. For the rest of the passengers occupying these seats, the partition in front of the eyes, which limits the view during a long flight, will tire, especially in the middle row, where there are no windows.
- Seats in row 16 have their own characteristics. Firstly, there is no porthole near the extreme seat on the port side of 16A. Secondly, the seats are located immediately in front of two sections of the galley, so these are quite noisy places, besides, the kitchen light is on at night.
- Seats AB 31st and DEF HJK 32nd row equipped with mounts for baby cots, so when flying with small children, these are the most convenient places. Also from the pluses it can be noted that in these places the distance between the chairs and the partition is enough to stretch your legs. These seats are not very comfortable in terms of: additional noise from children, sounds coming from the kitchen and toilet, a partition in front of the eyes that accompanies the entire flight, and one armrest is fixed due to the folding table built into it.
- Before seat 32C there is no chair - this is additional space for the knees and legs and a guarantee that no one will recline the back of their chair on you. Given that long flight this is very handy.
- Seats in rows 43 and 44 are the worst places: the backs of the chairs rest against the wall of the toilet, due to which there may be a restriction in reclining. It is very inconvenient to spend the entire flight in a vertical position. In addition, proximity to the toilets can cause some discomfort (fuss, queues, sounds of the cistern being lowered).
- 46 row- this is almost a complete copy 31-32 rows. The only difference is that there is no on-board galley, only numerous restrooms and an emergency exit block.
- 47 row. Seats A and K located in front of emergency exits - you will have additional legroom, however, due to the door protruding slightly into the cabin, you will not be able to fully extend your legs. A slight inconvenience can be caused by the proximity to the toilets due to the extra fuss. Seats B, C and H, J have extra legroom, seat backs recline. Of the minuses - the proximity to the restrooms. DF places have attachment for baby cradles.
- Seats C and Hin 56 and 70 rows protrude noticeably into the aisle. Passengers in these seats may be hit by other passengers or flight attendants with carts.
- 58 row located near the galley. This neighborhood can be inconvenient.
- 57 and 59 row- seats are located that may have a limitation in reclining the back of the chair. They are marked in yellow on the diagram.
- In the 60th row there are four chairs in total - two on each side of the board. Benefit from extra legroom for seats B and J, and disadvantages in the form of space restrictions on the side of the hatch in the field A and K. In addition, close proximity to the kitchen can interfere with rest.
- In 61 row the distance between the seats is several centimeters less than in other rows of the aircraft. This must be taken into account by tall people.
- Seats in row 62 D, E, F completely repeat the location 32 rows: cradles, wall and proximity to the kitchen.
- And here mYesta 62 C and H considered comfortable. There is no chair in front of them, there is good review and there are no toilets nearby.
- 72 row- uncomfortable. The backs of the seats either have a restriction in reclining or are completely fixed. Behind the wall are latrines and technical rooms, so here, in addition to smells and sounds, queues of visitors are quite expected.
