This reissue of the popular 100pp 2020 bookazine adds 16-pages to bring it right up to date. The Boeing 777 made its maiden flight on June 12, 1994. It was a response to three requirements: a gap in Boeing's own range of jets, a replacement for tired TriStar and DC-10 tri-jets, and market demand evidenced by eight major airlines being involved with the design stage. Thirty years after the first flight of the 'Triple Seven', it is still going strong and Boeing's 777 order book continues to impress. There remains high demand for commercial and freight variants, despite the date of its latest variant - the 777X - being put back to late 2025 at the very earliest. This updated and extended reissue of Boeing 777: An American Flagship covers the history of the aircraft, its variants, and its competition, as well as the latest on the highly anticipated 777X.
