Field marks

  1. Longest 777 body, with a visibly long tail cone stretching well behind the wing
  2. Six wheels on each main landing-gear leg, shared with every 777 and the A350-1000 — split those two by engine-pod shape (smooth here) and cockpit window shape (angular with a notch here vs. raccoon mask on the A350)
  3. Swept-to-a-point wingtips on essentially every airframe still flying
  4. Among the largest engine pods of any twin-engine jet — the GE90-115B is the largest jet engine ever built

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 -300ER (GE90-115B, swept-to-a-point wingtips) is by far the dominant sub-variant; the original non-ER -300 is essentially retired
  • One of the most-produced widebodies ever built — a common long-haul workhorse worldwide
  • Swept-to-a-point, extended wingtips are standard on the entire surviving -300ER fleet
