With a 25% improvement in fuel efficiency. ✈️ engineering
The 777-8 Freighter is the latest variant of the aviation giant's 777X family, and it was designed after Qatar Airways made a request in 2019 for a new 777X freighter to replace the 777F.
The new aircraft will be the world's largest, longest-range twin-engine freightliner, according to Boeing." With payload capacity nearly identical to the 747-400 Freighter and a 25 percent improvement in fuel efficiency, emissions and operating costs, the 777-8 Freighter will enable a more sustainable and profitable business for operators," the company said in its statement.
The 777-8 Freighter will feature a pair of GE9X high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines with an output of approximately 100,000 lb of thrust. Boeing says the engines are more efficient than those of the 777-8's predecessor, enabling a range of 4,410 nm and a payload of 118 tonnes. The aircraft is currently under construction at Boeing's Everett, Washington facility, and the first 777-8 Freighter is expected to be delivered in 2027.
The deal also pointed out that Boeing provides over 90 percent of the world's dedicated freighter capacity."With global supply chains under pressure and high demand for e-commerce, the performance and capabilities of the fleet is more important than ever," he said. The new $20 billion agreement between Qatar Airways and Boeing sees the airline purchase 34 jets, with options for 16 more.
