Does the 777X use bleed air?

Above each row of seating are individual air vents which, along with the cabin ventilation system, provide clean and comfortable air. However, unlike the 787, the 777X will feature a bleed-air system from the engines.

What is the problem with the 777X?

The FAA highlighted several concerns on the 777X, including a flight-control incident during a test flight on Dec. 8, 2020, when the plane experienced an “uncommanded pitch event.” That meant the nose of the aircraft rose or fell as a result of the control system.

What is so special about the 777X?

Boeing’s newest aircraft, the Boeing 777X, flew for the first time in January 2020 after lengthy delays. It’s the largest twin-engine jet in the world and Boeing’s latest new aircraft to fly since the grounding of the 737 Max. Boeing said in April that certification delays have pushed its first delivery back to 2025.

Is the 777X a failure?

Originally thought to be a blown-out cargo door, images obtained by the Times show a significant breach in the fuselage just behind the wing. The failure reportedly occurred at 1.48 times the limit load, 1 percent short of FAA certification requirements.

Does 777X have dimmable windows?

Boeing is set to offer electronically dimmable windows (EDWs) on its upcoming 777X aircraft. This follows the plane manufacturer’s implementation of similar panels on its 787 Dreamliners.

Does the 777X have MCAS?

Boeing stated that the 777X does not have an equivalent of the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that is installed on the 737 MAX and that played a role in two crashes.

Will 777X be successful?

The answer is no, but it is one of the last. As airlines push for smaller planes that can go further, the size of aircraft will continue to shrink without huge changes in engine technology. Expect to see more planes like the 787 and A321XLR in the future than the 777X.

Why is the 777X delay?

The 777X, which has both the 777-8 and 777-9 variants, has been in development since 2013 and was anticipated to be released for airline use in June 2020. However, the plane has been beset by delays as Boeing addresses certification queries from US air safety regulators.
