Boeing 777-9
The Boeing 777-9 is the largest member of the next-generation 777X family and, with those same folding composite wingtips, the widest-wingspan twin-engine airliner ever built when its wings are extended in flight. Its enormous GE9X engines are wider in diameter than the fuselage of some smaller regional jets. It's designed to replace ageing 777-300ERs and some four-engine widebodies with a more fuel-efficient twinjet of similar capacity. Development took considerably longer than planned, with entry into airline service repeatedly delayed into the mid-2020s.
