The 777X landed once out of the blue at Portland while I was working on the ramp, and we all stopped and were just in awe at the size of it. It was a privilege to see it up close.
The Dornier 328 jet is only 21 metres long. I used to regularly fly on it between the UK and Denmark. It's still in use, operated by Sun Air / British Airways
747-8i is currently longest airliner A380 has longest cabin length in total on main & upper deck 757-300 is the longest narrowbody airliner still serving on commercial Guess (if) 777-10 will be the longest ever airliner w/ 80m in length #AvGeek 🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫
The 777-10 doesn’t exist. Boeing has considered stretching it, but if they do, it’ll certainly be a while until that can happen. The 777-9, on the other hand, has already flown and, once it enters service, it will be the longest airliner in existence.
Your kind of correct but I'd like to point out something here. The McDonnell Douglas DC-8-6(1/3) and DC-8-7(1/3) is greater than 57 meters. They are a Narrowbody airliner that is still flying today, commercially, but as cargo, not passenger.
Normal people : "Hmm wonder what it is lets watch the video" Avgeeks: Still the longest commercial plane is 747-8 but the 777X will be the longest when it starts to operate
Flying pencil was the Dornier Do 17...designed as a fast mail plane in the 1930s then uses as a Bomber, Reconnaissance plane and later also Night Fighter
I've flown on a 737-200 before. They were short, but still felt like a modern, large airliner, unlike all the small commuter twins of today. Never had the privilege of riding on a 747, but I have flown on the MD-80, DC-10, 757, L1011, 727 (both 100 and 200), 717, Fokker F-100, A-310, Canadair CRJ, and a slew of twin turboprops too long to mention. My favorites were the 757 and L1011. Never ridden at such a high deck angle during climb out as the 757 and enjoyed the Rolls Royce fan growl of it and the Lockheed immensely. I miss the 727. Aviation is too tame and homogeneous today. They perfected it and made it boring.
I wonder if the increasing length of aircraft is going to cause any issues at the stands of some airports!? There have already been some instances of tails of aircraft on stands being clipped by aircraft with increased wingspan.
I was on the Nolinor 737-200 in 2016! Back then I knew the -200 was rare, but not as rare as it actually is. The windows on the -200 are extremely low, the top of the window game up to my shoulder. It was a really awesome experience though!
@@cmdrrgh maybe but I'm talking about the registration part you need normal sized airliners to cover up the loans for training pilots and getting licenses and stuff
It was the A340-600 from 2001-2010. The 747-8 was from 2010 to present. However, the 777-9X will take the crown when it enters commercial services in 2021/2022.
"Smaller twin engined planes" like the increasingly enormous 777s with engines as large as 737s. It makes it seem like just putting 777 engines on a 747 will work
Both Boeing and Airbus have longer variants possible in the future. The A350-1100 would be 79m, and the 777-10X would be 80m. However, I don't think there's much demand for 400+ seat aircraft from airlines right now.
Watching airplane videos (by any channel) nowadays be like Voiceover: The (insert Aircraft here) is planned to be commercially operational by- Covid-19: I'm gonna stop you right there
The 777 300er is 74m long. 3m longer than the 747 400 and a metre longer than the a380. It is also currently the longest twin engined aircraft in service.
mikin lirou the 777 300 is one inch longer than the a350. However, one could argue the 777 is bigger overall, it has greater capacity, wingspan, height and a wider cabin. It also has larger engines.
I get that, since the demise of Concorde, we’re all supposed to be obsessed with carbon footprint. Just for fun though, could you do a video on the fastest airliners?
The Yakovlev Yak-40 is only 66 feet, 10 inches long and is still in commercial service, particularly with Motor Sich Airlines in Ukraine and Vologda Aviation Enterprise in Russia. I am fairly certain it is the shortest jet airliner you can fly on that is still in service.
Why would they install software? The air frame literally flies well, every airliner is prone to tail strike some just more prone than others. The longer 737Ngs have bumps on the aft section to prevent damage to tail strike
Should we reconsider four or even three engine planes?Maybe three engine planes can come back maybe as engine testers because rolls roys could use the DC 10 or MD 11 or what ever plane that is a trijet just maybe there could be a new market for trijets.
No, why would the industry reconsider 3 engines when 2 engines are capable of doing the job. Adding a third engine is more R&D, more weight, more complications, more maintenance, added cost to operate, and burns more fuel. The cost just cannot justify going back to 3 engines when 2 engines can do it already. (and with the 777 and 787 both aircraft can fly with 1 engine in emergency).
B777-9 the long version of the new model. The A340-600 looked the longest I have seen because it used the slightly longer thinner fuselage of the A330 which I believe it inherited from the A300. Yes I agree with the A318 being the shortest.
There’s one thing this video definitely got wrong: the ATR-42 is shorter than the EMB135, at 74 feet long. But can it be considered the shortest airliner? Well...maybe, but then you have to consider operations like Cape Air or Nantucket or Mokulele, which fly passenger routes in even smaller planes like Cessna Caravans or PC-12’s or Beech King Airs-planes that make the EMB135 look huge by comparison. So what can truly be considered to be the smallest airliner? Good question, but I’ll argue that the Embraer is too big for that title.
I don't understand this . When they take a340-600(my fav plane ) photos they look as if they are 80m or long and b777 x looks much smaller even though it is smaller
Why is the 747 going away, when everything else that are apparently smaller are getting so long that they will probably carry the same amount of passengers? So arent they kinda the same?
Calling all av geaks, does the 777x have the same wing make up as the 78? It looks similar and both are stunning works of engineering! Just wondering 😊
The 777X landed once out of the blue at Portland while I was working on the ramp, and we all stopped and were just in awe at the size of it. It was a privilege to see it up close.
if it had an airline livery on it would you be able to tell at a glance that it's larger than the -300ER?
@@toodlepop possibly. I'd probably be able to tell from the folding wings or just look on flight radar and see the model.
The a318 looks hilarious with how short it is

I hate when people compare the 787 and a350- they’re both in completely different classes. It’s the a330neo and the 787, or the a350 and 777x.

The longest narrow body airliner I believe was the DC-8-61 at 187 ft.
I think the 753 is a little longer.
It looks like a 777-300er from a certain angle, probably because of the wing to body ratio

Its not nearly as economic as twin engine planes. Uses more fuel/more weight/more maintenance
