Boeing's advanced widebody 777 twin incorporates more advanced
technologies than any other previous Boeing airliner, and has been progressively developed into increasingly longer range
developments.
The 777 was originally conceived as a stretched 767, but Boeing instead adopted an all new design. Notable 777 design features
include a unique fuselage cross section, Boeing's first application of fly-by-wire, an advanced technology glass flightdeck
with five liquid crystal displays, comparatively large scale use of composites (10% by weight), and advanced and extremely
powerful engines. The 777 was also offered with optional folding wings where the outer 6m/21ft of each would fold upwards
for operations at space restricted airports.
The basic 777-200 as launched in October 1990 was offered in two versions, the basic 777-200 (initially A-Market) and the
increased weight longer range 777-200IGW (Increased Gross Weight, initially B-Market). The IGW has since been redesignated
777-200ER.
The 777-200 first flew on June 12 1994, with FAA and JAA certification awarded on April 19 1995. The FAA awarded full 180
minutes ETOPS clearance for PW4074 -200s on May 30 that year. First customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995.
The first 777-200IGW/ER was delivered to British Airways in February 1997.
The 777-100X was a proposed shortened ultra long range (16,000km/8635nm) model, dropped in favour of the 777-200LR (originally
777-200X) design study. Boeing claims the 777-200LR will be the longest ranging airliner, capable of flying 16,417km (8865nm)
- 18 hours flying time. It will achieve this with awesomely powerful 489kN (110,000lb) thrust GE90-110B1 turbofans, a significantly
increased max takeoff weight and optional auxiliary fuel tanks in the rear cargo hold. Other changes include 2m (6.5ft) raked
wingtips, new main landing gear, structural strengthening and optional overhead crew and flight attendant rest stations above
the cabin. The 777-200LR was launched in 2000, but is now delayed until 2006.
The stretched 777-300 is described separately.
cirrus sr22
The Cirrus SR22-G2 is a four seat, single engine airplane designed for speed, comfort,
and safety. The advance aerodynamics let this baby speed along at 185 knots and a swift rate
of climb (1,400 feet per minute)
It's easy to operate, and one of the largest single engine aircraft on the
market. It is as simple as 1,2,3 to navagate with this aircraft with its bueatifull all glass cockpit. Advanced
avionics provide the SR22-G2 pilot with enhanced information and better situational awareness. The Sr22's "Glass
cockpit" comes with dual Garmin systems, GNS-430 Global Positioning Systems, traffic avoidance system, a optinal
in-cockpit weather data link, cabin air-conditioning and advanced autopilot.
Unparalleled comfort. The automobile-inspired interior for the SR22-G2
includes a vary wide cabin, spacious rear passenger seats, a panoramic windshield, not onley was this aircraft made for the
pilot but for his passangers to, you can tell that from the plush leather seating, and a air-conditioning system
that keeps you cool for the ride.
