Boeing's highly-anticipated 777X will compete with rival Airbus' A350, featuring things like larger windows and more passenger seating.
In 2011, Boeing refined its response to the revamped Airbus A350 XWB with three 777X models, targeting a firm configuration in 2015, flying in late 2017 or 2018, and entering service by 2019. The then-proposed, 407–passenger 777-9X stretched the 777-300ER by four frames to 250 ft 11 in (76.48 m) in length, for a 759,000 lb (344 t) maximum ...
