Boeing 777 (1 of 17)

When we see a modem airliner, it is hard to believe that airplanes used to be clumsy, noisy, rather primitive machines.
My first experience in aviation was in a viper cub; a very small airplane we didn't even Have electrical systems, and to find myself in this airplane It is a tremendous contrast it is like finding Yourself on the moon.
The computer has really advanced the art of flying beyond the capabilities of the pilot, in Terms of the very sophisticated end of it.
Less than a century ago, few people would have dared to imagine what we now all take for granted.
The safety, speed and comfort of modern airliners has changed humanity, and brought the world close together.
Despite increasing demand for air travel, building a new airliner is a gamble.

Even with the close cooperation between the airlines and the airplane manufacturers, the undertaking remains risky and expensive.
We need an airplane that is fuel efficient, can fly a long range-do that job well, but still be Compatible with the airport.
But they can only build airplanes that match the available engine technology engine technology always dictates the airframe size and the performance of the airplane.
So the Two have gone hand in hand and as the market has developed and airlines have tried to match specific airlines to handle particular markets, the airline manufacturers and the engine manufacturers try to meet it.
When Boeing began construction of what would become the world's largest twin-ngine commercial airliner, the company's past legacies were drawn upon in every possible way.
Boeing hopes the 777 will be the jet for the next century that it will be an airplane customers ask for by name.
The primary reason that I really enjoy flying the airplane is it is just right up there with everything, so it is taking advantage of technology that has been around but really hasn't been applied to a commercial aviation In the airline industry.
So to me, it was just something new, something in the forefront of aviation and it was just exciting to be a part of that.
Few things have changed the face of the world with the force of the computer and the jet airplane.
And now, as we stand at the dawn of a few century, these two elements have come together to push us into a new age of interational travel.
And this new era Begins with an airplane designed for the next century, the 777.
We live in an age of travel.
