The technological advances of the Boeing 777
The Boeing 777 has made many advances in the aviation industry. It is also sometimes referred to triple seven. There has been 1,342 Boeing 777 produced, that’s the largest number of long range planes produced. Sometimes, people refer to it as ahead of it generation because all of its technological advances were so unique. This plane has changed the aviation industry. So in order for a commercial airplane to be responsible and profitable, what must it do? In order for commercial plane to be efficient, technologically advanced, and safe, it must be the Boeing 777.
The Boeing 777’s efficiency changed the aviation industry by fuel conservation distance, and maintenance charge. First of all, fuel

Similarly, the cockpits have advanced technologically. The cockpits are controlled only through computers on the airplane, “the plane was the first of its kind to be controlled by computers” (Brewer, 2017, 14). Lastly, it’s engines are one of a kinds, the GE90 engine was specifically made for the Boeing 777. These engines create more thrust than any other twin engine aircraft, “Boeing 777, with thrust ratings from 81,000 to 115,000 lbf “(Mizell,2018,1). All in all, this aircraft revolutionized the world with its advanced in …show more content…
First of all, it goes through hardcore tests such as turning off the engines, scraping it, and even flying through the most extreme environments. According to the article Boeing 777, “Instead, the company's engineers have spent the past five years testing, tormenting, and torturing every last scrap of metal on its latest widebody commercial “(Mizell,2016,p. 1). Similar to that, the plane has some pretty nice safety features. The plane has backup power such as hydraulics and wind energy “In case of an emergency, the plane will have it’s basic controls from it’s hydraulics.”(Amir, 2016, 5). Lastly, the plane can glide if it’s engine fails. If the engines fail at a decent altitude and is cruising at mach .85, the plane can glide for 2 hours. “The features of this plane come from its predecessors such as losing an engine would result in 2 hour glide”(Boeing, 2017, p. 2). In conclusion, the Boeing 777 has one of the most amazing safety
Handling and operating an airplane comes with great risk, but these risks that are present are handled with very different attitudes and dealt with in different ways depending on the environment the pilots are in.
In this paper, I would like to discuss on the video, “21st century jet.” This video is about the launching and testing of the airplane by the Boeing company, 777.The 777 family is designed to fill the size gap between the 767 and 747.The head of the 777 project is Allen Millaley, who promised to do many things which are impossible, produced the plane which is more reliable than any other plane in the aviation history. The first large passenger jet designed completely by computer, the 777 is more complex and innovative than any other airliner ever built.
The Boeing Company originally started out as the Pacific Aero Products Co., which was founded on July 15, 1916. The name was changed about a year later to The Boeing Airplane Company. The Boeing Company stayed relatively small until World War I when they were selected by Navy officials to produce an order for 50 model C's planes for the war efforts. The company continued to prosper and by the late 1950s, Boeing President William Allen knew that the company had the scientists, the experience and the facilities to lead the company into uncharted territories. He was right, Boeing has emerged as the leading aerospace company in the world today.
The Boeing Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Rivaled only by European giant Airbus in the aerospace industry, Boeing is a leader in research, design and manufacture of commercial jet airliners, for commercial, industrial and military customers. Despite enjoying immense success in its market and dominating an industry that solely recognizes engineering excellence, it is crucial for Boeing to ensure continued growth through consistent strategy formulation and execution to avoid falling behind in market share to close and coming rivals.
Planning, an imperative part of any business environment, is a daily focus at Boeing Corporation. The organization faces daily challenges to produce products to fit the consumer wants for air travel, comfort, and efficiency. While Boeing deals with a constant need for innovative ideas, it also deals with the challenges of its main competitor Airbus, who has historically been subsidized by many of the European nations to compete with Boeing for a larger share of the market. Boeing management, through excellent planning, an ethics policy that demands large returns for shareholders, and constant work to comply with ever changing legal demands of the industry has led to the constant success of the company. "It was the jet Boeing didn't build that averted what could have become one of the worst crash landings in the company's 91-year history--and cleared Boeing to conquer the skies again. "
As I stated earlier Boeing is one of the most innovated and globalized companies of our time and with its many accomplishments and its high standard, Boeing is the best example of what companies in our economy should be following to improve their products and better managed their company as a whole. Boeing has been successful in staying ahead of its competition which is Airbus, Lockheed and Northrop Grumman.
To achieve the above goals and fulfil Boeing’s mission, the following objectives will guide company:

The Boeing 737 is one of the most popular aircraft ever produced. Over 7700 in all variants have been produced, with an additional 11,275 aircraft on order. This makes the 737 the most popular jetliner to date. The 737 has a wide variety of uses, and still remains extremely popular and under high demand. Because it is such a widely mass produced aircraft, it is also a target for constant aerodynamic improvements. Boeing has looked at everything from the design of the anti-collision lights, to the reduction of small gaps in the airfoil. This has created an aircraft that is extremely aerodynamic and efficient at any task it performs.
Technology Innovation: - Boeing should carefully analyze the market to evaluate the trends in the airline industry and aggressively invest in a new product line (top dog strategy) that could counter Airbus’s A380.
Over the last 50 years, The Boeing Company has shown itself to be an industry leader in the fields of technology and putting their vast physical assets to use. Boeing has been at the forefront of innovation in both commercial aviation, and airplanes used for defense purposes. Whether it was the introduction of the first modern airplane with dual engines when the Boeing 247 was unveiled or introducing new standards of efficiency into their business model, Boeing seems to have always been one step above the competitors. So while Boeing was hurting their competitors on one end, they decided to go and become more efficient on the other end. So not only were they the leader in technological innovation, they improved the productivity of their largest business unit all while decreasing the amount of space they used.
As Boeing’s CEO, Frank Shrontz promised to increase earnings and return on equity. Boeing had a history of making money when its competitors did not, but Mr. Shrontz wanted higher returns. The airline industry was characterized by large cash outflows for R&D and manufacturing and long payback periods over long life cycles for each new airframe design. Companies had to have deep pockets to keep the operation going while waiting for a return on their investments. If Mr. Shrontz could increase the return on equity for Boeing, it would increase the likelihood of Boeing’s continued success well into the future.
Introduction Plane crashes occur for a number of reasons. There seems to be a consensus with the general public that flying is dangerous, engines fail and planes crash. That is true sometimes, although the majority of plane crashes occur largely due to a combination of human error and mechanical failure. In many aviation accidents mechanical failure has been a contributing factor. It is impossible, however, to blame plane crashes on one reason, since events leading up to an accident are so varied.
advantage that we can see is the great aspects of designers and manufacturing experience which can in the great job classification. This fabulous creation is seen in the design of the engine, as well as materials used to prepare the aircraft that can travel at the speed of a supersonic. there has never been another creation of a supersonic aircraft to carry passengers to a destination for a supersonic aircraft are just used to carry bombs and fighter jets.
