The world's largest twinjet and commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven", the aircraft can carry between 283 and 368 passengers in a three-class configuration and has a range from 5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,370 km). Distinguishing features of the 777 include the six wheels on each main landing gear,its circular fuselage cross section, the largest diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, and the blade-like end to the tail cone.
The Boeing 777 entered commercial airline service with United Airlines in 1995, and Singapore Airlines operates the largest 777 fleet of any airline as of 2008. The most common 777 variant used worldwide is the 777-200ER, an extended range version of the original 777-200, with 407 aircraft delivered as of November 2008. As of November 2008, 56 customers have placed orders for 1,096 777s with 741 delivered.
Through the 2000s, the Boeing 777 has emerged as one of its manufacturer's best-selling models. Due to rising fuel costs, airlines have acquired the 777 as a comparatively fuel-efficient alternative to other wide-body jets, and have increasingly used the aircraft on long-haul, transoceanic routes. Direct market competitors to the 777 are the Airbus A330-300 and A340, as well as the upcoming A350 XWB, which is currently under development.
