TABLE OF CONTENTS 18 The 777 is the world’s leading long-haul, twin-aisle commercial jetliner. Building on that success, Boeing engineers are developing a replacement airplane, the 777X, that promises to further raise the bar for efficiency, performance and innovation. The 777X wing, for example, made of composites, will be bigger than any airplane wing Boeing has ever made—even the 747’s. The Boeing team bringing the 777X to life represents a broad mix of experience and expertise from throughout the company and includes engineers who helped design the first 777.
