r.e.

I agree with you realistically that the 777 family has probably reached it’s growth potential,but to truly compete with the A330/A340s,Boeing should’ve introduced 3 different sized models from the start.This is what I would’ve liked:

777-200(300 passengers/6,300 mls range)
777-200ER(300 passengers/8,700 mls range)
777-200ER(stretch)(330 passengers/8,500 mls range)
777-300(380 passengers/7,300 mls range)
777-300ER(380 passengers/8,700 mls range)
777-300F(100 tons of freight/6,000 mls range)
777-400(330 passengers/10,200 mls range)

span length height

777-200 200ft 209.1ft 60.10ft
777-200ER 200ft 209.1ft 60.10ft
777-200ERS 200ft 223.2ft 60.10ft
777-300 212.8ft 247.3ft 62ft
777-300ER 212.8ft 247.3ft 62ft
777-300F 212.8ft 247.3ft 62t
777-400 212.8ft 222.9ft 62ft

I think that with these revised configurations the 777 would be clearly ahead of Airbus.
