Boeing Advances 777-9 Toward Final FAA Type Inspection Authorization
Extensive flight-testing of folding wingtips, GE9X engine endurance, and avionics redundancy brings Boeing's flagship widebody closer to commercial deliveries.
When the Boeing 777-9 enters commercial service, long-haul travelers will experience wider cabin cross-sections, larger dimmable windows inspired by the 787, lower cabin altitude (6,000 ft), and higher ambient humidity, drastically decreasing jet lag on ultra-long-haul flights exceeding 14 hours.
