The Boeing 777-300 is a long-range, twin-engine wide-body airliner manufactured by Boeing, recognised as one of the largest twin-engine aircraft in the world. It is an extended version of the 777-200, with a length of 73.9 metres, a wingspan of 64.8 metres and a height of 18.5 metres, capable of carrying between 300 and 550 passengers depending on the configuration chosen by the airline. Its modular and spacious cabin allows for a variety of configurations, including three-class, two-class or maximum economy class. The 777-300 was designed to replace the Boeing 747 on certain routes with significantly lower fuel consumption and operating costs.
In terms of performance, this model also impresses with its very powerful engines — the most powerful civil jet engines in the world — offering thrust of up to 515 kN and a cruising speed of approximately 900 to 920 km/h. Its range varies from approximately 11,000 to 12,000 km for the standard 777-300 version, and up to more than 14,000 km for certain variants such as the 777-300ER. Equipped with a six-wheel landing gear on each leg, it also has cameras to assist with ground manoeuvres and devices to prevent tail strikes during take-off. It is particularly appreciated by airlines for its flexibility, long-range performance and passenger comfort.
