Boeing 777-300ER

The Boeing 777-300ER is a long-range, stretched version of the original 777 and, for years, the largest twin-engine airliner in the world. Its engines, built by GE specifically for this aircraft, are among the most powerful ever fitted to a commercial jet. Raked wingtips distinguish it from the standard 777-300, improving aerodynamic efficiency over very long routes. Airlines use it on some of the world's longest non-stop flights, connecting distant city pairs that once required a refuelling stop.
