Purchase on Amazon

Synopsis

The behind-the-scenes, definitive history of the Boeing 777, made possible through the cooperation of engineers, pilots, and other experts with intimate knowledge of the type and its development.

The "Triple Seven" is the most produced wide-body jet airliner in history and remains a fixture for many of the world's great airlines today. The 777 was the first Boeing airliner to be designed using digital software, and the first to utilize "fly-by-wire" controls. Such innovations were incubated by and executed through a leadership and management system dubbed "Working Together."

In the creation of this work, author Dan Dornseif enjoyed the collaboration of many individuals directly involved with the airplane's development and operation, including Alan Mulally, who was Boeing's director of engineering and general manager of the 777 project.
