Longest range commercial airplane in the world
The newest member of the 777 family, the 777-200LR Worldliner has the capability to connect virtually any two cities in the world nonstop. It will carry more passengers and more revenue cargo farther than any other jetliner.
Provisions for up to three optional fuel tanks have been added in the aft cargo area of the 777-200LR to be able to fly a range of 9,380 nautical miles (17,370 kilometers) with full passenger payload (301 passengers). Even without the optional fuel tanks, the 777-200LR can fly as far as the competition, the A340-500. The 777-200LR adds value to the 777 family, and particularly complements the popular 777-200ER. On long-range routes served by the 777-200ER, the 777-200LR provides an additional 53,000 lbs. (24,040 kg) of revenue cargo capability.
The 777-200LR also serves as the platform for the Boeing 777 Freighter, the world's largest, most capable twin-engine freighter. Boeing launched the 777 Freighter in May 2005.
