What kind of aircraft is this?

The Boeing 777 is a large twin-engine, twin-aisle (wide-body) long-haul jet, in service since 1995.

In plain terms, it's a turbojet multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).

There are 7 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 334 Boeing aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total.

An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Boeing 777 →

  • Nov 26, 2008 (19:25 UTC)Incident · Bozeman, MTNTSB #DCA09IA014
    Aircraft in report: BOEING 777Damage: Not recordedHighest injury: None

    NTSB probable cause: An accumulation of ice in the fuel system, which formed from the water normally present in jet fuel during commonly encountered flight conditions, which accreted and released, restricting the fuel flow at the right engine fuel-oil heat exchanger inlet face. Contributing to the incident were certification requirements (with which the aircraft and engine fuel systems were in compliance), which did not account for the possibility of ice accumulating and subsequently releasing in the aircraft and engine fuel feed system upstream of the fuel-oil heat exchanger.
