The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven".
The '''Boeing 777-200LR''' ("LR" for Longer Range), a variant of the [[Boeing 777]], became the world's longest-range commercial [[airliner]] when it entered service in 2006. Boeing named this aircraft the ''Worldliner'', highlighting its ability to connect almost any two airports in the world. It holds the world record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial airliner, and has a maximum range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 km). The 777.200LR was intended for ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Singapore.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 Boeing 777] (Wikipedia)</ref>
The stretched '''777-300''' ('''773''') was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s. The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration.  
The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. It features raked and extended wingtips, a new main landing gear, reinforced nose gear, and extra fuel tanks.
