There seems to be quite a bit of technology in the B777 ?

Boeing's 777: A Touch of Class
One of the most eagerly anticipated days in aviation history was the day when executives from Boeing and United Airlines rolled out the first Boeing 777, an aircraft that has set new standards for production, performance and partnership. Elo TouchSystems Round Rock is proud to have played a role.
As he handed a symbolic ignition key to United Airlines chairman Gerald Greenwald, Boeing chairman Frank Schrontz said, "Our goal was to create a reliable, service-ready airplane, with market flexibility, speed and comfort -- an airplane that will fully meet the demands of our airline customers and also delight the passenger."
When Boeing began developing the "triple seven," the world's largest twin engine plane with a capacity of 418 passengers (single class) and a wingspan half as long as a football field, a key part of the 777 development process was the active partnership of leading suppliers from throughout the world.
Elo Round Rock provided infrared touchscreen assemblies for the 777's innovative cabin management system. Linked to a computerized Cabin System Control Panel built to include Sharp liquid crystal displays, the Cabin Management System assists cabin crews with many tasks and allows airlines to provide new services for passengers. For example, the system configures lighting in the passenger compartments and manages distribution of video and audio.
The system also manages the software required in other parts of the passenger areas, where flight attendants access the control systems through two cabin area control panels, which incorporate CarrollTouch scanning infrared technology.
The decision to select CarrollTouch scanning infrared technology was based on its compatibility with the Sharp display screen and its ability to meet rigorous electromagnetic interference requirements, both in terms of susceptibility to interference and radiation emission, according to Dereck Campbell, Boeing's hardware design team leader for the Cabin Management System panels.
"We worked closely with Elo Round Rock to optimize the touchscreen capability," said Campbell. "This included finding innovative ways to shield the bezel as well as special indium tin oxide coating for the touchscreen glass." Campbell said the touchscreen performance has met all expectations.
"Being part of the 777 team is a privilege, and we take a great deal of pride in the fact that the cabin management system on the 777 is the absolute state-of-the-art in systems and processes," said David Martin, general manager of Elo Round Rock. In fact, the passenger cabin of the new 777 jetliner won a 1992 Industrial Excellence award, the first time the Industrial Designers' Society of America has honored an airplane interior.
As with other Boeing airplanes, the 777 will grow into a family of aircraft. The company has committed to a longer-range, higher weight version, and even higher performance and capacity platforms are in development for the future.

Concerning V1 test:
Posted Fri Mar 1 2002 09:07:56 :
I have seen a video of te V1 test done on the 777 during its development. The requirements for this test are to load the aircraft to max gross weight, accelerate to V1 for that weight and then do a maximum performance stop using the brakes alone. When the aircraft comes to a stop it must stand for 5 minutes without catching fire.
In the 777 test you could see the brakes glowing bright orange through the wheels. After a few minutes the wheel fuse plugs melted and the tires deflated as was designed, there was no fire. The 777 test was successful but the entire set of wheels, brakes and tires were destroyed during the test at a cost of approximatly one million dollars.
In the pictures of the 340-600 it looks as if one or more of the wheels failed prior to the aircraft stopping. This would send the wheel shrapnel flying and most likely be the reason for the belly damage. In fact in one picture there looks to be a clear imprint of a wheel half on the skin.
This test is one of the more dramatic ones that all manufacturers must go through when certifying a new airplane. In this case it looks like more work for Airbus.

As I look through this topic I get a very strong sense of something very familiar here.
Several of these photos have been posted before, in the original 777 topic, namely the Alitalia photo, the Pan Am photo to name but two.
Other people may not remember this, but I for one have a very good memory!

I agree with you Chris. I do not see the benefit to the forum of continual pictures of the landing gear of KLM's 777s!!Avro wrote:I know Lien, but will you post pictures of the landing gears of every 777 that will bve delivered to KLM. I mean, the landing gears of PH-BQA have the same look as the of PH-BQB. Don't you think
Ciao

And I would say that yes, they do look alike, they will not all have been built as individual unique models for each individual aircraft.
This is as relevant to the forum as continual lists of links, production figures and so on. Alot of this topic has gone beyond something relevant to a discussion forum, and now 777 topics are continually being set up purely, I believe, just for the sake of having a thread about 777s in constant use. It is the same small group who contribute most to these threads about 777s as well.

Hi Comet and Chris,
I am sorry but for the pictures of the seating I have to disagree
I have never saw the seating-allocation on a British Airways 777 and now I see it's remarkable! Only the last part of the plane is economy, for the rest you have first, club world and traveller world + !! Only about 120 economy-class seats
That could not be on every 777 ...
greetz,
Bart

Each to his own Bart, but there is very little, if anything, to discuss in these posts, and, as Chris has said, they take some time to load, all for nothing in my opinion (and I am speaking on behalf of several forum members on this issue!)
Can people please post things which can be discussed by other members?
