21st Century Jet – The Building of the 777

In the design phase, Boeing worked with its customers to reflect their opinions and build a better airliner, and the 777 was designed entirely on computer. Many parts necessary for building the plane such as wing and fuselage panels were outsourced by partners globally. The outsourcing helped Boeing build planes faster and cheaper. And this film shows how extreme the test conditions are to complete a plane. Engines, landing gears and wings were tested under the extreme conditions. In addition, emergency situation was simulated with volunteers. Lastly, the process of acquiring ETOPS certification from the FAA and making a contract for the first delivery with United Airlines is explained.
