O
ne aircraft that was viewed most attentively during the mid-November Dubai Airshow was the Boeing 777X. The demonstration of steep vertical take-off enthralled the awe-inspired crowds. The aircraft also attracted attention of prospective operators and aviation analysts. The new Boeing 777X is claimed to be the world’s largest and most efficient
twin-engine jet. Built around new breakthroughs in aerodynamics and engines, the 777X will have ten per cent lower fuel consumption, emissions and lower operating costs than its equivalents. It will also seamlessly integrate with operations of the 777 and 787 Dreamliner. The more spacious airliner borrows new custom architecture and innovations from the 787 Dreamliner.
