The Boeing 777 family of long-range, wide-body airliners includes 5 passenger models with a range from 5,210 to 9,420 nautical miles.

The 777 was the first commercial aircraft to be designed entirely in CAD (computer aided design).  Boeing's "Working Together" philosophy meant that, for the first time,  major airlines (United Airlines, ANA, British Airways, JAL, QANTAS, and Cathay Pacific) and their passengers had a role in the development of the aircraft.

The 777 first flew on June 14, 1994. Boeing and airlines often collapse the model (777) and the capacity suffix (200 or 300) into a smaller form, either 772 or 773.

On April 2, 1997 a Malaysia Airlines 777-200ER broke the Great Circle Distance Without Landing record for an airliner by flying east to Kuala Lumpur from Boeing Field, Seattle, covering the distance of 20,044 km in 21 hours. 

The 777-200LR Worldliner, capable of flying 9,420 miles (17,445 km) in 18 hours, is currently the world's longest ranging commercial airliner. Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) received the first 777-200LR on February 26, 2006.

The 777-300 was designed to replace the  747-100s and -200; range and capacity are similar but maintenance and fuel costs have been significantly reduced.
