Boeing 777-200

The Boeing 777-200 is the original version of the 777 family, the first twin-engine widebody designed almost entirely using computer-aided design rather than physical mock-ups. It introduced folding wingtip options and the largest turbofan engines ever fitted to an airliner at the time. A longer-range version, the 777-200ER, extended its reach for airlines flying it on longer intercontinental routes. It laid the groundwork for the larger, more successful -300 and -300ER variants that followed.
