The Boeing 777X is an American long-range, wide-body, twin-engine airliner undergoing flight testing built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. A substantial development from the original Boeing 777, changes for the 777X include General Electric GE9X engines, composite wings with folding wingtips, greater cabin width and seating capacity, and technologies from the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The 777X program was launched in November 2013 to develop two variants: the 777-8 and the 777-9. The 777-8 provides seating for 395 passengers and has a range of 8,745 nautical miles [nmi] (16,196 km; 10,064 mi) while the 777-9 has seating for 426 passengers and a range of over 7,285 nmi (13,492 km; 8,383 mi).
The aircraft are assembled at the Boeing Everett Factory. The 777-9 first flew on January 25, 2020. The program has suffered from numerous delays; as of October 2025, Boeing expects the first aircraft to be delivered in 2027. As of November 2025, there are 619 total orders for the 777X passenger and freighter versions from 12 customers.
