Because in recent times the company United Airlines has requested 68 aircraft, the company Boeing will be able to realize the model B777. A giant plane capable of transporting 390 passengers at 7,700 kilometers. It will have two reaction engines and will weigh about 230 tons on takeoff.

This plane faces a tough competition with the European Airbus A330, which started a year earlier, due to the similarity of both planes. However, they have a difference in the wings, since to facilitate the manoeuvres in the ground and in the legs, the Boeing will be picked up the wings reducing the width of 60 to 47.5 meters.

For its reactor, Boeing has chosen the electric transmission for the flight controls, as well as Airbus.

However, Boeing also plans to perform a heavier model than this, which would mean a weight of 270 tons. 320 passengers would take up to 12,300 kilometers.
