Aircraft "Boeing 777": the scheme of the cabin, characteristics, airlines

One of the largest passenger aircraft in the last 20 years in Russian and world aviation is considered the Boeing 777. It is also called Boeng T7, which means Triple Seven, or "Three Sevens."

The largest number of these airliners is operated by Transaero (14 aircraft) and Aeroflot (16 aircraft).

The layout of the Boeing 777, the best places for flights, technical specifications - all this in this article.

Short description

This Boeing model is the very first in history, its design was developed in the 90s of the last century without paper drawings, completely and completely on a computer using special programs.

This is the most reliable airliner in the history of aviation, which makes long flights without a single stop.

The Boeing 777 belongs to wide-body passenger aircraft. It has been in operation from 1995 to the present day.

The capacity is 305-550 people, flight range - 9 100-17 500 kilometers.

Technical characteristics of the Boeing 777

It is the largest airliner in the world with only 2 engines. These are powerful General Electric gas turbine engines. The landing gear consists of 6 wheels, which distinguishes it from other aircraft.

Consider the technical characteristics of the Boeing 777 for versions 200 and 300.

Interior and interior layout

Boeing 777, as noted above, has several varieties. Salons each of the modifications has 3 or 4 - each has its own layout, which depends on the customer.

The interior of the salons is dominated by curved lines, indirect lighting, wide luggage racks. The size of the porthole relative to earlier versions of the aircraft is 380x250 mm.

Economy class capacity - up to 555 people. Armchairs are located 10 in a row. Compared to the first Boeing 777 models, since 2011 the interior has been modernized, making it more modern.

In the business class, the seats are located 6 in a row, and they are laid out in a full bed, which is very convenient during long-distance flights. Due to the fact that the total number of seats is less than in economy class, there is more space.

The imperial class is designed for the most comfortable and expensive flights. Increased attention, additional services, the best cuisine - all this for special guests.

The best places on the plane

Depend on the overall staffing of the cabin. When buying tickets, you can choose any place, but it is preferable to find the most convenient so that the flight is pleasant and comfortable.

The best places are located at the emergency exits: there is additional legroom. Convenient places in the Boeing 777-300 are considered to be those located in rows 11-16 - these are places where 3 seats are installed in a row (except for those next to the toilet). Good places are located near the aisle - there is an opportunity for a short while, but with pleasure to spread your legs.

Here are a few more tips for choosing a seat on a Boeing 777:

- if the modification provides for double seats near the porthole, then when pairing it is better to choose them;

- in economy classes, the closer to the nose of the aircraft, the wider the distance between the rows of seats;

- most of all shakes those who are in the tail, least of all - near the wings;

- if the airliner is not fully loaded with passengers, then there are fewer people in the tail and, accordingly, more space.

Of course, these are average indicators, since different airlines have their own nuances in the design of the cabin of their aircraft, and it does not matter that in essence it is one and the same Boeing 777.

Transaero
