The 777-200 longer-range jetliner can fly 8,860 nautical miles, making it the longest range airplane in the world. It can connect cities as far apart as Singapore and New York or Atlanta and Hong Kong. The 777 wing uses the most aerodynamically efficient airfoil ever developed for subsonic commercial aviation. This advanced wing enhances the airplane's ability to climb quickly and cruise at higher altitudes than competing airplanes while achieving higher cruise speeds. It also allows the airplane to carry full passenger payloads out of many high-elevation, high-temperature airfields.
