In 1990, Boeing began its 777 programs in response to United Airlines’ order; it delivered the first plane in 1998. While smaller than the famous 747, the Boeing 777 still carries a respectable 305 passengers with a range of 4,210 to 8,270 miles. The design also offers improvements in airfoil technology, flight deck design, passenger comfort, and interior flexibility. Besides these features, the Boeing 777 is also significant for being the first airplane designed only using 3-D computer graphics.
