The Boeing 777 is the first of a new family of wide body airplanes. The new large twin is sized to accommodate 360 to 390 passengers in typical two-class configurations and planned growth beyond that. The 777 offers airlines three engine options, extremely attractive operating costs, and compatibility with existing airport gates and taxiways. The 777 has a wingspan of nearly 197 feet and is offered with a wing-tip folding mechanism that will reduce the span to 156 feet. Extensive use of advance composite is included in the 777. The application range from fiberglass fairing to primary structures. The 777 empennage includes vertical fin and a horizontal stabilizer. The material used for the empennage is a new, toughened epoxy materials. The material provides outstanding resistance to impact damage.
