Is The 777X Bigger Than The 747?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Boeing 777X promises a lot for both airlines and passengers. The largest engines to enter commercial service, the highest capacity of a twinjet ever, and improved efficiency over the 777. The larger -9 takes over from the Boeing 747, offering almost the same capacity, with a longer fuselage and wider wingspan. Let’s look at the dimensions of the two aircraft and how they stack up with each other.

When it starts service at the end of 2023, the 777-9 does have one huge advantage of the A380: it can operate out of airports that were already designed to use the 747, most of which were upgraded in the late 1960's to middle 1970's. That saves a lot of money for airport operators.
Not just B747, but also existing B777/A350 enabled airports.
@@EstorilEm 747 is just a heavy, the A-380 is classified as a super and very few airports can handle it.
@@dundonrl yes if I’m right even an airport like Tallinn can’t handle an A380
Lol "starts service" ? You think that will be anywhere near this decade? Considering the max 10 and 787 extended versions are still headaches
Early 2025 is expected today for the entry to service of the 777x.
747 was never expected to succeed - so it was designed for cargo.
There will always be something special about the 747, its essentially the only aircraft variant that is instantly recognizable by everyone!
The 777X will be exciting to experience too - but at this point, I'm more impressed with narrow-body variants like the C-Series (being Canadian the A220 will always be the C-Series to me 😎) - and whenever the 797 gets developed to be the new, modern 757, that too will be a game-changer.
So is the A380. Recognizable by everyone
The 74 is my favorite commercial aircraft of all-time but I do want the 777x to do well.
Agree, its unmistakable profile is legendary. Like the A380, the 747 is another victim of technological advances and the changing needs of aviation. Sad to see it fade away.
@@commerce-usa I suspect the 747 will be around for longer than than A380. The 747 freighters have a nose door which is something no other modern production airliner offers (some military/military derived transports have them and there have been some special conversions, but I suspect the operating costs of those make the operating costs of a 747 look cheap)
@@petermichaelgreen true, the 747F jets will probably live on way beyond their passenger siblings. The A380 does not lend itself well to being a freighter for several reasons.
The 777 will do well until it has a double engine failure in the middle of the Pacific or the Atlantic........
I had the pleasure of flying on a 747 when I flew to Jakarta a few years ago and I will miss this plane very much. I am hoping the 777 will do well and with the dependability of modern day engines the odds of double engine failure are slim. I do believe for those long over the ocean flights they should keep 4 engine planes but that isn't going to happen so I guess we better get use to it.
747 is the queen of the sky, and also one of the most recognizable jumbo jet of all time. I hope Boeing make a twin engine of the same style of 747-8. I like 777x too
That's an old airframe that's reached the end of its modification life, manufacturing has moved on so much it's probably cheaper to just keep this new 777 in production than it is to revive that 747 production line
Would love to see a double deck aircraft but with twin engine existing sometime in the future. However, engine technology has long ways to go for a double deck aircraft to become just as efficient as the 777x or the A350.
The 747 will always be my favorite plane. I love the design...looks really beautiful.
Yeah it never becomes out of date.
Good information.
However, the number of seats in the specs doesn't mean much - these newer airplane designers would try to fit 30 seats in a typical minivan.
But that applies to all planes, so the ratio between seating capacities should be the same
To be fair the airline specs the seats
4 engines would make me feel so much more secure on transatlantic flights! I’m sure most pilots agree. “Efficiency”= more profits at greater safety risk. Im sure the airlines have all sort of stats to support 2 engines but I’m not buying!
@@lmmachin7075 While I understand your feelings, the engines of today are so much more reliable than those of earlier years. The two GE-90's that are on the 777-300ER are wonderful engines and very reliable. The engines on the 777X, the GE-9X, is even better! Relax and enjoy the trip! ;-)
Ryanair: Yes but my A320 seats 500!!
I like the 2 decks. The more space the better for comfort
Space depends on the airlines' configuration, not the aircraft.
@@stephenwodz7593 agree
Love them both. Such awesome beasts. Can't wait for the 777X to get into service. :)
I hope you haven't been holding your breath!
Ultimately, pax comfort all comes down to seat numbers and configuration by the airline more than fuselage width of their aircraft. Perhaps the B777X could be the first to offer in flight bowling. if the pilots can keep it level ?
nothing replaces 747 the most beautiful air craft ever built .
sad to see no more of it
Exactly....and it's not efficient anymore because of the 4 engine
Only if Boeing had envisioned for Two Engined Boeing 747 as the B747-500X and 600X and that Gigantic Engine like the Rolls Royce UltraFan if had arrived back in early 2000s then Boeing 747 program would have surely been made it to 2040s or Early 2045. But the same wouldn't have been for the A380 because that Massive Wing was such that no Gigantic Two Engine would have handled that Load
@@satirthsarthak6887 or the ge9x
The Boeing enginers could use 2 big and most powerful engines to run it with 2 engines, but still they couldn't find such engines as far as I think so
@@satirthsarthak6887 Both cant support the engine tho. Their wing and wing root designed for distributed load from 4 engine, not concentrated load of 2 engine.
You can do it. But with new center fuselage. Then make it with composite material because cheaper. Then make the whole thing with composite material because load distribution. And oh no, we accidentally made a completely new plane.
The 747(my favorite) and the A380 will always be iconic, but are going outdated. It’s sad watching them go out of service, but they will always have their marks.
A380 is not am icon. Its just large. The 747 is the Queen of the skies
@@paullim1933 true
@@i_am_a_fat_boi1254 Also, not to offend the Airbus fans, but the 380 was made since Airbus was jealous of the success of the 747, first, they try to pass it with the a340-600, and then after its fall, Airbus begins it project and they tell because it was a bigger plane for the demand of passenger, comfort, etc, but they never mention the dark side. Even in the documentary of the a380, you can notice the hate of the ones talking( my comment is not to cause a war, but we much note the truth and try to accept it)
@@paullim1933 actually that is the exact reason why it's iconic because it's big same with 747 it was iconic because it's big plus now adays the a 380 is very popular in the media and the general public almost as much as the 74
@@paullim1933 if the A380 was built at the same time as 74 it would be just as successful and don't forget the 748 which was a complete marked failure for the same reason of the a 380 so descrediding the airbus because one plane is older is just pure bias I'm a fun of both
747 is perfect for cargo specifications. I suspect it will be needed for a few more decades.
Not to take away from the awesomeness of the aircrafts but I've gotta point out the fact that he said "but ofcourse length isn't everything" XD, I bet they knew exactly what they were doing while writing that 😂
777-9 looks very beautiful and everything but nothing beats the queen of the skies.
agree

747 for ever
Next triple 7
I can’t wait to fly this. Looks fun.
The 777X is an exceptional machine if it does deliver those efficiency savings and proves to be a safe aeroplane in the long run. But it just cannot compete with the aesthetic look of the 747, and neither can the A380 for that matter. The 747 is, and will remain, the queen of the skies.
My favourite aircraft is the B777-300ER so I am super excited for the B777X and can't wait to get onboard.
Congrats on 200K! keep the good work up 😄👍✈️
Thanks for your support! - TB
The ancient 747 will always be the queen of the sky and remain the pinnacle of jet transport. Its just not the came crossing an ocean in a twin on a single deck.
Congrats on 200K subs
Thanks for your support! - TB
What an amazing jet great video thank you
I love the 777 and can’t wait to fly the X and see those wing tips unfold
I'd like to see a video explaining that little 'chute trailing off the appendage of test planes like @0:43
I would like very much to fly the triple 7X from what I've heard it puts out a lot of power. Could be a lot of fun on the runway and takeoff
777 has always been my favorite airliner with 757 and will stay like that :). Looking forward to jump inside one of the 777X-9's when available
Yep, they just have a beautiful symmetry about them.
Looking forward to the 777X
I am really looking forward to see the 777X entering Toronto.
Simple Flying: you want large twin or double deck?
Me, an A340 lover: meh.
She's a beautiful bird!
Indeed is a lovely bird, the original Airbus jumbo in my opinion.
As of me writing this comment, you have reached exactly 200.000 subscribers. Congratulations!
The 777-9X is certainly bigger than the 747-400 and definitely bigger than the original 747. Even the 777-300ER is slightly bigger than the 747-100 and forget the pipsqueak 747SP.
747-400 3 class 416 777-9 3 class 405 747-8 467 3 class
@@danielmeador1991 That's an estimation, the 777-300ER has a greater MTOW than the 747-100.
@@ChrisZoomER no it’s not and yea but that’s an old 747 variant
@@danielmeador1991 Different airlines have radically different seat configurations for aircraft. For example, British Airways 747-400s carried less people than their 777-300ERs. Seat numbers are not a good way to judge aircraft capacity. The numbers you want are MTOW and exit limit.
@@speedbird1598 the mtow of a 747-400 blows away the 777-300er the 747-400er and 747-8 even more so and yes you make a point airlines have there own seating arrangements on a airplane they operate very rare does it get to the maximum capacity of that airplane
Well, I enjoyed in 90’s the 747-400 upper deck on Korean Air long flights New YorkSeul. The upper deck was spacious, quiet and had very attentive Service, thank you. It was interesting to fly over most of North America!
AA gave me free upgrades to 1st Class between DFWNRT. Once in seat A1! Thank you AA. The best experience on any flight during my air traveling years.
I can't wait!
Congrats 200k
Thanks for your support! - TB
i really wanna get in the 777X - 9 i cant wait
The 777 has always been the best aircraft on the market, lets just hope Boeing doesn’t mess it up again because this plane is gold
@@EstorilEm had just one year left to be in delivery, the plane would come and be ready to fly.
When i was at the Boeing Factory in Seattle in sep 2019 the tour guide showed us a sneak peek at a B777X
Always a fan of the 747, rode one back on a red eye from LA to NY. But that triple 777 has perfect symetry. The biggest most powerful GE engines hanging from its 235' wing span.
The 747 actually demonstrated flying over 1080 passengers in at least one flight from Ethiopia to Israel in May 1991. No other passenger aircraft has ever come close to this record. Some news stories at the time reported that 2 babies were born on one of the multiple flights that saved lives by flying whole families out of war-torn Ehiopia.
Unlike the more recent evacuation from Afganistan, no civilian Ethiopians evacuated by Israel were killed or injured. It was efficient, orderly and safe!!
Too bad that 20 years later we in the USA could not do as well!
My favourite plane has always been the 777-300ER. So, sad to see it go, but happy that it'll be replaced by a really similar aircraft.
Yea ,I love the triple 7s. Perfect shape & proportion. Two huge GE engines & they don't look out of place @ all. For me its #1 & the big dash 9 is continuing its legacy. By themselves they don't look huge, next to a 757 or 767 you realize what monsters they are. Look nimble in flight too.
The 777X is like a full size sedan and the 747 and a380 are like full size SUV'S
Cool
The 747 is the Queen, always will be.
LOVE the 747, but never been on one sadly. HOPING the world gets the Rona under control and I can take Lufthansa's 747 to Frankfurt this year. It's a "bucket list" item in my life. I'll, no doubt, have plenty of time to experience 777-8-9 sfor decades to come.
mate. as current COVID. as long as I can get back to air travel. I am felling happy already.
Sooooooo cool there’s TAM livery at 00:32 . This aircraft came to TAM (nowadays LATAM) in 2008 and it’s still the flag ship
I'm so tired of twinjets, but even if I live out the 60 more years I can expect for an average lifespan, I doubt I'll ever see another design take to the skies.
I never realized how lucky I was to see 747s, DC-10s, and even the rare 727 in person.
The existing 777s are already amazing planes, it looks like the -9 will be one of, if not the best, plane in the world from both passenger and airline perspectives
I think that it’s the A350 and 787
A380 by far the best jet for comfort and space, just introduced premium economy too
Enough already the a380 is dead let it rest in peace
Typical Boeing fan Answer but practical in terms of Fuel consumption and Efficiency but unlike the seating capacity of Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747-8i the 777-9X fails but the Possible 777-10X if goes forward can seat 450 Passengers which again is Beaten by A380 by Most Airliners who have configured it to 469 seater. To Be Honest, both 747-8i and A380 were never explored to their Full Capacity Seatwise i.e 853 Seater Capacity for A380 and 650 Seater Capacity for B747-8i so it's unlikely the same may/may happen for 777-9X and 777-10X
@@satirthsarthak6887 Because the seat capacity wasn't needed. One of the major flaws of the 380 in market.
@@johniii8147 I think the a380 is definately suited to gulf coast countries who's citizens can make use of airplanes with a conference center and water slide
@@juliogonzo2718 Would appear only EK. Etihad and Qatar were quite clear they didn't work for them
I'm so looking forward to going on one . One day.
2:41 - its all the motion in the ocean baby
Wow. Never realized that, since the 747 is nicknamed the “Queen of the Skies”.
Will forever be iconic.
A better way to compare would be the interior square meter (or feet) available for commercial use.
Wow
I love the A380
Wonder if Airbus considered adding folding wing tips for the A380? Hoping that one day we see a return of the 747 form, imo its shape is the best looking of all. A future 747 could even be a double decker full length like the A380, but with the famous 747 bump at the front for a front 3rd level deck(!). This is all for if or when the carriers' may return to the biggest, most spacious aircraft being most in demand and viable. And with folding wing tips if possible for maximum flexibility at more airports.
Efficiency, cost, durability and the ability to serve trans oceanic and moderate distances with appropriate fuel use
Airlines are phasing out the quad jets as they just aren’t as efficient as the two engine jets.
Would it be possible to use two 777-9 engines on a 747?
747-8 the most beautiful ❤
can you give a comparison of 777x and a350?
though a350 is already in service,I read on the composite fuselage as superior to 777X's metal..
hope you can do a fair comparison..
news on the premature paintwork corrosion on the a350,will that contribute to higher long term maintenance compared to the 777X?
thanks
It seems shortsighted taking the 747 out of production completely, in spite of it's inefficiencies, it has proven to be the safest and most versatile craft ever built
I would prefer the 747 over all for international flights.
Singapore 🇸🇬 Airlines had ordered 30 Boeing 777-9 then to Replace All of the older Boeing 777-200ER and 777-300.
It would have been nice to see the numbers side-by-side
I'll board it a few months or a year into service to make sure it's safe
I think I will allow it to have a couple of years of widespread service before stepping on board. Remember the 737 MAX?
Give me four engines anytime...
Who wants to be in the middle of the Pacific on one engine...!!
The 777X 9 will almost be as big as the 747 seating capacity and there a plan for the 777x 10 which will be almost as big as the A380 seating capacity wise, these Twin Jumbo could be the future.
I prefer both the 777 and the A380 as well as the 747 I like all of them.
Although I’m looking forward to fly with 777x in the future, I’m still want to fly with 747 & A380 because of their double deck design (the 777x + other airliner are just the same single deck design).
Guess there needs to be a B777x-10 stretch using the full 80m...
I like the 777X concept, but if you have ever flown the A380.......it's space, low noise level, ease of boarding with two decks, excellent premium economy, it is hard to beat for the long haul !
I wanna fly it
The Airbus a380 is more comfortable to fly in economy class than any other plane that Airbus or Boeing can make since it has wider seats and walkways in economy class since the cabin is wider than any other airplane ever made.
My preference is for one that won't suddenly do a death dive.
747 8 👍🏻
2 decks pls ✈️✈️✈️
Is First Class being coming rare since you are mentioning only 2 class configuration?
It's increasingly rare yes. F on most carriers have been replaced but business class and then they have premium economy. Only a few international carriers have true international F left and the ones that do are even reducing the size of the cabin. International F doesn't tend to make money for the carriers, the money is in business class.
Wasn’t there a Dash-10? It’s even pictured in the video with a 10 on the tail
There once were talks about a 777-10, but I doubt that it will ever be launched given how long it is and how small the market for aircraft bigger than the 777-9 is.
The aircraft with the 10 on its tail is a 787-10, NOT a 777 ;)
I love the Boeing 747, and am sad that its being slowely phased out among airlines, but I am excited for the 777-9 and wouldn't mind flying on one
Wingspan, yes
"Length isn't everything" - "Yeah, that's what guys with small planes say" :p
Singapore Airlines had ordered 30 Firm Boeing 777-9X to replace All if the older Boeing 777-200 & 300 types besides expecting more Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner Aircraft later due to the Covid Pandemic situation.
I would be happy in a 727-100. These super HUGE planes seem to just take the real feel out of flying. I like the 737's as well. Also the good ol 757. But times change and if the fare is right, I'll be on it. J
I go way back, DC7 was my first flight. The Convair 880 & Super DC8 followed. But the 727 & DC10 were old favorites of mine too. Rocket ships too!.
From 30,000 feet to Ground in Seconds?
I prefer the jumbo it is a great plane to fly.
777-9X would be a good replacement for the current AF-1 ( VC-25A 747-200). Of course they won’t spend that kind of money.
For such a critical task, I WANT the President to be flying on an aircraft that has four highly reliable engines. Just not THIS President. Let's Go Brandon!!!
@@Turboy65 you are right !!
That's decision was made a long time ago now to go with the 747 and well underway
We are in agreement on the 747, nobody has fell for a trick question!
@@Turboy65 Lets go brandon!
Wonder if it'll have the same issues as the 787
I’m excited to see my baby fly
I do love all Planes but i prefer more space like Premium Economy seat in our local airlines.
Spaciousness of 2 deck. Did i spell it right?
I always hate it when I have to fly 777, all the airbuses are quieter and more spacious and only 787 can compete with them.
Well noise is in the main down to engine choice I suppose
it matters less of the aircraft and more of the quality of interior and service... on time performance and speed of the flight... planes got slower... not only since concorde, but also since 707 and DC10 times... seating space is important... dont care on what plane it is... nice on 787 and a350 is the lower cabin pressure at altitude...
This thing ain't stallin
I've been on a couple of older 747s but never on the upper deck. In my humble opinion the 77 will replace the 47 very well for passengers! Everyone will get use to it but I think that a lot of freighter's will miss the opening front that makes the 747 a much faster to load cargo aircraft.
Many cargo operators will likely hold on to their 747s, or even convert more from passenger to full-cargo format. Like they did with the larger MDs.
@@ernestkomu4523 the pax conversions don't have a nose that opens, though honestly that's used in something like 1% of all loadings.
I would prefer a double deck aircraft, but I wouldn’t mind sitting in a modern jet while looking at a folding wingtip
Simple Flying: we still think the A321XLR will be the only aircraft airlines would ever want.
I actually prefer the 787, Dreamliner. Wide body aircraft but not nearly as many passengers.
The problem with more passengers is once on the ground there are more passengers at Customs & Immigration and baggage claim. Even at airports with Global Entry baggage claim is a nightmare.
Try taking an Emirates A380 to a small island like Seychelles or Mauritius, or an Air France A380 to an developing country in West Africa.
I still like Boeing 747-8i a lot more than its 777 counterparts.
