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 →

    Aircraft in report: BOEING 777Damage: MinorHighest injury: None

    NTSB probable cause: The fan blade fractured due to a fatigue crack that was the result of the combination of the breakdown of the fan blade lubrication system and residual fatigue life usage following the last overhaul of the fan blade. Contributing to the fracture was the inadequate lubrication schedule established by the engine manufacturer that was not reflective of the operator’s use of the engine.
