Can the Business Class on Boeing 777 Lie Flat?
1 Answers
It can lie flat, featuring 180-degree fully flat seats, but the seat back must be adjusted upright during takeoff and landing. Basic Introduction: The Boeing 777 is a long-range, twin-engine wide-body airliner manufactured by Boeing in the United States. It is the world's largest twin-engine wide-body airliner, with a three-class cabin configuration accommodating between 283 and 368 passengers and a range of 5,235 to 9,450 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,500 kilometers). The Boeing 777 features a circular fuselage design, with a main landing gear consisting of 12 wheels, and its engines have the largest diameter among all airliners. Boeing invested heavily in the development of the 777, marking its second major gamble after the 747. Had it failed, Boeing might have faced bankruptcy, but fortunately, the 777 proved to be a successful aircraft. Design Features: A Boeing 777 aircraft comprises 3 million parts, supplied by over 900 suppliers from 17 countries worldwide. These include components such as the forward fuselage, wings, tail, engine nacelles, wing leading edge components, wing control surfaces, landing gear, ceiling support frames, nose wheel, doors, fins, and antennas. Different companies around the world were contracted for various parts, such as Rockwell in the U.S. and Embraer in Brazil, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (fuselage surfaces) and Kawasaki Heavy Industries (fuselage surfaces) in Japan, Fuji Heavy Industries (central wing sections), and Ilyushin Aircraft Company in Russia (collaborating with Boeing on cabin luggage racks). Korean Air also participated in supplying a small portion of the components. Finally, under Boeing's supervision, the aircraft was assembled and test flights were conducted.
