MALAYSIA Nonstop: The Boeing 777 Story (Part 2 of 3)

[dinobearnation]

I'm proud to be a Malaysian people.

[fabianvelazquez1]

Im a boeing,airbus fan but the boeing are just beautiful they have spirit but airbus is just technology and ugly it lacks character

[aviationwingnut]

The engine diameter is nearly the size of the 737's FUSELAGE diameter. Those engines are BIG.

[Lunarlaserranging]

how long away are we from airplanes being manafactured entirely by robots like cars are

[aromchuen]

@Lunarlaserranging Never. Cars aren't even being built entirely by robots. They do most of the chassis work and such but cars are still mostly put together by humans (wirings, interior and such and ofc quality inspection), though they too kinda work like robots :P

Imagine if you would have to put together a car, hard enough. Now multiply the complexity by at least a thousand times.

There's simply too much detailing to be done that it must be done by human fingers.

[dergrossen]

And they still cannot stop water in the fuel freezing...not as slick as it seems

[msauofa]

The Etihad Airways B777-300ER is just awesum!!

[TheSaadAhmed125]

@msauofa PIA and Emirates tooo!!

[AsiaTheTuber]

damn these guys in the nat geo, history always go off topic

[nattytorrezao]

the most beautiful livery/airliner of the 777 is Emirates!

[ChainChomp2]

I can agree and disagree, personally I like Emirates' livery the best and they're also the largest operator at the moment. Of course it depends on peoples' taste, I also like the liveries of Air France and United Airlines' new livery too, but Malaysia's livery looks astounding.

[Hisyer]

Malaysia Airlines gonna acquired more Airbus A330 because of its fuel efficiency compare to Boeing 777..

is A330 more fuel efficient than Boeing 777 ???

[tiadaid]

I think it depends on the route. But, I don't think Malaysia Airlines bought the A330 to replace the 777. They have some older A330s and are replacing those planes with the new ones with upgraded performance and interior cabins.

[Kimflash]

malaysia dont have a 200IGW

they only have 2H6ER

[Hisyer]

what 2H6ER means??

[Kimflash]

2H6 = model name

ER = Extended Range

[Hisyer]

LOL... i don't know that...

i'm a big fans of 777.. wish malaysia have 777-300ER

[clarked345]

the 777-300/777-300ER is the longest commercial airplane in the world, NOT the A340-600 as most ppl think.

[Hisyer]

but i just google it...

777-300ER - 73.9m in length

A340-600 - 75.3m in length

[nattytorrezao]

lies, all these search engines do nothing but fuckin lie! Airbus sucks ass, PERIOD!

[AsiaTheTuber]

really i thought the A380 or dreamliner is...

[AsiaTheTuber]

i think they do..

[redskins5926]

IGW and ER are the same plane. Originally, Boeing was calling the planes -200IGWs (Increased Gross Weight). Eventually, the plane was renamed as -200ER (Extended Range).

[GeneralRdot09]

A380-800 all the way

[allyyx82]

malaysia airlines is the best airlines in the world

[drsheikhjunior]

that is so true!

[benten0000]

yeah! 100%

[allyyx82]

malaysia airlines is the best airlines in the world

[mammerlemam]

They call this a medium-size aircraft. What was bigger in that time except the 747?!?! Or was there only one big-size aircraft?

[Fordgirl]

At the time the 777 was released it's bigger brother the 747-400 was the biggest passenger aircraft but if you add the military heavy lifters then the Russian Antonov 124 and 225 are bigger then the 747-400. The USAF's C-5 Galaxy and the C-141 Starlifter are all around the size of the Queen of the Skies :)

[mammerlemam]

Yes I know. But I meant the civilian aircrafts. So there was in that time only one civilian big-size aircraft! I don't know if the 773 was released then, but I really think that is a big-size aircraft.

[Fordgirl]

I agree with you, yes it is a large plane but it depends if the size they're talking about is in relation to the amount of passengers the plane can take and/or it's range.

The 777, 772, 773 were in service from 1995 onwards and the only other plane of comparable size to the 777's were the A340, 342 and 343 and the Ilyushin 96-300 :) which were all in service at the time of the 777's release leaving my favourite beastie the 747-400 on her own as far as large passenger aircraft go :)

[IloveSPIDERZ]

I know, right. We get alot of 737's at KALB and I think they are big, but then realized they are just puny.

[mammerlemam]

A 737 is big, but if a 737 stands next to a 777, its very small.

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Yeah, That's what I meant. lol

[tiadaid]

A 737 is as big as a GE90 engine used by some 777 operators! Imagine that, an engine the size of an airplane!

[clarked345]

NO IT ISNèT U FUCKIN DUMBASS, a 737 is about the same size as an A320 & it's bigger than ANY jet engine or turbofan 4 dat matter, U FUCKIN RETARD! look up on google image search: 737 777.

[MyPinky2003]

@mammerlemam u should see the new 737

[iketheman]

Fantastic insight!

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

whats etops upon surface entry?

[LoofLirpa4]

not "surface entry." SERVICE entry. meaning that the B777 was certified to fly long distances as soon as it began commercial service. previous aircraft, notably the B767, only became ETOPS-certified in gradual phases.

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

ah thanks

[windtoday]

LoofLirpa is right, but to be more exact, ETOPS stands for Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards, so the two-engine jets that were approved by ICAO to fly away from alternative airport (usually ETOPS-180, which means at 180 min from the closest alternative airport)

[wenno95]

now i know.... fantastic.... hope that boeing will still make world class aircrafts..... =)

[tokusil]

I am a huge Boeing fanatic.  Thanks for uploading this video. The 777 is s very good aircraft indeed. :-)

[jsyoo]
