For example, because Pyrodex, a common black powder substitute, is less dense than black powder, a measurement by weight on a scale of 60 grains of mass of Pyrodex would be near a 30 percent overload. Volume equivalence is a benefit in loading muzzleloading firearms, traditionally loaded using volumetric measures.
This helps reduce weight and simplifies the aircraft's braking and hydraulic systems. Each tire of a 777-300ER six-wheel main landing gear can carry a load of 59,490 lb (26,980 kg), which is heavier than other wide-bodies such as the 747-400. [152] The aircraft has triple redundant hydraulic systems with only one system required for landing. [153]
In 2017, crowd-sourced stock advising website Seeking Alpha estimated a 370,000 lb (167,829 kg) manufacturer empty weight and a 407,000 lb (184,600 kg) operating empty weight. [105] The first flight of the 777-9 was on Saturday, January 25, 2020. [1] The 777-9 is to supersede the 250 ft 2 in (76.25 m) Boeing 747-8 as the longest airliner.
The most successful variant is the 777-300ER with 799 aircraft delivered and over 844 orders to date. [7] Emirates operates the largest 777 fleet with 148 aircraft. [7] FedEx Express operates the largest fleet of the 777F cargo aircraft. As of April 2024, 2,268 Boeing 777s, of all variants, have been ordered and 1,729 have been delivered. [8]

When using the triple beam balance, it is recommended that one start with the lowest level of precision (e.g 100 gram increments). For example, if an object weighs 327 grams, the 100 gram pointer will drop below the fixed mark on the 4th notch (400g); it will then need to be moved back to the third notch (300g).
With a weight of 4.2 t (4.1 long tons; 4.6 short tons), the M777 is 41% lighter than the 7.154 t (7.041 long tons; 7.886 short tons) M198 howitzer it replaces. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] Much of the weight reduction is due to the extensive use of titanium . [ 18 ]
