Field marks

  1. Six wheels on each main landing-gear leg is the single fastest 777-family tell — no other twin-engine jet in this fleet has it
  2. Among the largest engine pods of any airliner, dwarfing the wing beneath them
  3. Shorter body than the -300, with the tail ending well ahead of where a -300's would
  4. Plain wingtips on most airframes — swept-to-a-point tips mean it is the rarer -200LR, not the base -200/-200ER

Size and shape, to scale

Photos can't hold a consistent scale from shot to shot — these silhouettes are all drawn at the same 10 px = 1 m scale, so the proportions here are trustworthy even though the photos above aren't.

Variant notes

  • The extended-range -200ER is the most numerous surviving sub-variant, sharing the original plain wingtip and span
  • The -200LR ("Worldliner") is rare and easy to miss — it borrows the -300ER's swept-to-a-point, extended wingtips
  • Three engine families (GE90, PW4000, Trent 800) were offered at launch, giving slightly different engine-pod proportions by operator
