Three decades later, after Boeing 777’s first flight, Boeing is back with the 777X, ready to shake up the long-haul market once again!
GE announced on May 28 that it has completed the second round of GE9X dust-ingestion tests, building upon the initial 2022 evaluations.
The Boeing 777X has emerged as Boeing’s latest attempt to dominate the skies, while the Airbus A380 sits as a cautionary tale of when bigger isn’t necessarily better.
Boeing has redesigned the engine thrust links for its 777X aircraft, addressing its fatigue issues that caused a 4-month certification testing delay.
The Boeing 777X, the latest flagship from Boeing, represents a major leap in commercial aviation.
Boeing delivered 45 commercial aircraft in April 2025, nearly doubling its April 2024 figure of 24 jets.
Boeing’s long awaited 777X program is nearing certification, with the fourth test aircraft already airborne. The company aims to deliver its first Boeing 777-9 to Lufthansa (LH) by 2026 from Frankfurt Airport (FRA).
