Launched in October 1990, the 777-200 was offered in two versions, the basic 777-200 and the increased weight, longer range 777-200ER. The initial 777-200 was first delivered in May 1995, followed by the -ER version in February 1997.
The 777 was the first aircraft to be designed entirely by computer (CAD) and includes Boeing's first application of flybywire as well as comparatively large scale use of composites. Although no airlines have opted for it, the 777 is also offered with optional folding wings, where the outer 21 ft. / 6 m of each wing folds upward for operations at space congested airports.
