Boeing 777-300ER Increases Performance Capability
EVERETT, Wash., Dec. 09, 2003 -- The Boeing 777-300ER (Extended Range) passenger airplane's excellent performance during flight testing has led the company to decide to offer the airplane with higher range and payload capabilities than originally planned.
Such enhanced capability for the newest 777 family member would be available for newly-delivered airplanes and as a retrofit option starting in the fourth quarter of 2004. The enhanced airplane's maximum takeoff weight would be 775,000 pounds, or 351,534 kilograms, up from 759,600 pounds, or 344,549 kilograms. Its design range would be 7,705 nautical miles compared to 7,525 nautical miles.
