The Boeing 777’s unique combination of superior range, outstanding fuel efficiency and passenger-preferred comfort has created longrange success for carriers around the world. And the 777-300ER now gives operators a perfect opportunity to extend that success. Recent upgrades further reduce costs and boost revenue, and the 777’s flying experience is still number one with passengers. A more profitable fleet and more satisfied passengers. That’s a better way to fly.
ENGINE
Designed specifically for the Boeing 777 aircraft, the GE90 is the world’s most powerful turbofan engine. In 1995, the GE90 engine debuted aboard a British Airways 777 airplane along with commercial aviation’s first-ever carbon-fiber composite fan blades I t is one of three options for the 777-200, -200ER, and -300 versions, and the exclusive engine of the -200LR, -300ER, and 777F. It was the world’s largest and most powerful jet engine, until its 6 in (15 cm) wider fan successor, the 105,000 lbf (470 kN) GE9X, powered the Boeing 777X first flight in January 2020
The original 777 interior, also known as the Boeing Signature Interior, features curved panels, larger overhead bins, and indirect lighting.[70] Seating options range from four[153] to six abreast in first class up to ten abreast in economy.[154] The 777’s windows were the largest of any current commercial airliner until the 787, and measure 15-inch (380 mm) by 10-inch (250 mm) in size (all models outside the 777-8 and -9).[155] The cabin also features “Flexibility Zones”, which entails deliberate placement of water, electrical, pneumatic, and other connection points throughout the interior space, allowing airlines to move seats, galleys, and lavatories quickly and more easily when adjusting cabin arrangements.[154] Several aircraft have also been fitted with VIP interiors for non-airline use.[156] Boeing designed a hydraulically damped toilet seat cover hinge that closes slowly
ANTONOV
Was founded on May 31, 1946. The enterprise was headed by eminent aircraft designer Oleg Antonov. During this time more than one hundred types and modifications of passenger, transport and special purpose airplanes were designed by ANTONOV team. More than 22 000 such aircraft were constructed. Antonov aircraft set more than 500 world records. Representatives of more than 200 professions and specialties, the full staff of designers and scientists working in 35 scientific directions including such rare ones as aerodynamics and strengthen of aircraft, mechanics, hydraulics, heat engineering, avionics, material science, work at the company today
STRENGTH RESEARCHES
Strength test complex of antonov company is one of the biggest in the Europe. The unique modern equipment of the complex allows performance of full-size certification strength tests of aircraft of any class from hang gliders to airplanes of “Ruslan” and “Mriya” type, products of engineering industry and to design test equipment. Dimensions of the laboratory are 100x100x35m with square of forced floor of 9000m², cargo capacity of the universal portal system is up to 3000 tf, productivity of pump station is 7000 liters per minute. Strength test complex performs: • static strength tests of the airplanes and their components using different kinds of loading (distributed, concentrated forces, excess pressure) by mean of multichannel systems (up to 140 channels of loading) with research in terms of experiment of deflected mode of construction (to 10000 indicators with the speed of poll to 1000 measurements per second); • service life strength tests of airplanes and their components using full spectrum of operational loads on complicated multilevel programmes with provision of functioning of mechanical hydraulic and electric systems of object under testing with simultaneous automated measurement of deflected mode, bendings, registration of appearance and development of the strength cracks;
