Those engines are freaking huge.

As long as they don’t call it a 777max.

Another diversity-designed derivative of a previously successful design. Just wait until they start falling from the sky. Its all fun n games when they're flown by Boeing test pilots, but what happens when it starts flying in the real world??
I'll never step foot on another Boeing aircraft again. Not this kid.

6-wheel boogies on the main landing gear. Impressive.

Boeing’s huge 777-9X airplane takes its first flight.
Hopefully not to follow in the 737s footsteps.

Would be great if one could see what the thing looks like.

Back in the 70’s I had a buddy who’s father was an engineer at Boeing.
In the summer my buddy had a job at Boeing cleaning up stuff AND walking the runway after every aircrafts maiden flight.
He said it was unbelievable what fell out of every plane...6” nuts 1/8” wide, a 3’ long wrench 1/4” wide and a myriad of other stuff.
I can’t imagine all the stuff that falls out of an Airbus!

Designed to carry up to 425 passengers on routes of 7,600 nautical miles -- a distance that would cover most long-haul routes So it will not be used for domestic flights?
