The Boeing 777 is the most successful widebody airliner of all time, with nearly 1,800 units having been delivered since the type’s introduction in 1995, and it’s received nearly 2,500 orders across three generations (including the still in-development 777X). Large, efficient, and capable, these planes pioneered the idea of using twin-engine airliners on true long-haul routes, which has since become standard practice in the industry, and the upcoming 777-9 variant is the largest commercial aircraft on sale.
