About the Boeing 777X

"The future of long-haul flying — with folding wingtips!"

The Boeing 777X is the newest and most advanced member of the 777 family. It features the longest wingspan of any commercial jet — but here's the cool part: the wingtips fold up at the airport so the plane fits in normal gates! It uses brand-new GE9X engines, the most powerful commercial jet engines ever built.
