The Boeing 777 is larger than all other two engine or three engine commercial aircraft. It is the first ever jet passenger aircraft to be completely designed by computer. Unlike other aircraft, a mock-up was never produced. This helped lower development costs.

Its wing is said to be the world's most efficient used in a current airliner. We are told that its turbojets are the most powerful, efficient, and quietest for the amount of power that they produce.

The Boeing 777 uses about 2/3 more carbon fiber materials, for added strength and lightness, than any other Boeing jet, except for the newest Boeing models. The twelve-wheel main landing gear of the aircraft allows for less wear on runways and taxi ways by more even weight distribution.

The aircraft holds the record for longest non-stop commercial flight ever accomplished.

A total of 822 Boeing 777 aircraft have been produced to date.

Some companies are promoting toy like rc Boeing 777 as park flyers, but they give the impression that they wouldn't last very long in a park environment.
