1/200 ANA Boeing B777-300

HSGWA-10710

The B777 is the world's largest twin-engine passenger aircraft.

Its size is close to that of the B747, and it is equipped with engines ranging from 34,000 kg to 38,000 kg of thrust, such as the Pratt & Poitney PW4000, General Electric GE90, and Rolls-Royce Trent 800 , with engine diameters comparable to the fuselage of the B737.

It is also the first Boeing passenger aircraft to adopt digital fly-by-wire. However, unlike Airbus aircraft, the cockpit retains a conventional control wheel, and this difference is reflected in the approach to protecting the flyable area. In Airbus aircraft, if the pilot attempts to exceed the flyable area, the controls are canceled, whereas in the B777, although warnings such as increased control wheel weight are issued if the pilot attempts to exceed the flyable area, the pilot can ignore these warnings and pass through the flyable area. This can be seen as an expression of Boeing's intention to respect the pilot's decision. In addition, the B777 is equipped with the latest avionics, and the displays have been changed from the CRT displays used in the B747-400 to LCD (liquid crystal display) displays. The Japanese aviation industry also participated in the development and production of the aircraft, with more than 20% of the total production taking place in Japan. Notably, the B777 is the first aircraft born from the "working together" spirit, with the airline users working together from the development stage to create a user-friendly aircraft. The -300 type has the fuselage of the -200 extended by 5.3m at the front and 4.8m at the rear, with a total length of 73.8m, surpassing the 747 series and becoming the world's longest passenger aircraft. Along with the fuselage extension, the engines are also equipped with a type that has increased thrust. In addition, small cameras are installed on the leading edge of the left and right horizontal stabilizers and on all landing gear to prevent wheel derailment during taxiing. A retractable tail skid is also equipped to prevent the rear of the fuselage from scraping during takeoff. The Boeing 777-300, with its larger size, can now transport up to 550 passengers (all economy class).
