777X's party trick*

*Folded the aircraft's wingspan is 213-feet and the same as the 777-300ER, so it can use its gates and taxiways. Unfolded, the span grows another 22 feet 10 inches to increase lift.

I love that Boeing even published a video of this 777-9’s first flight, as if it’s like a total reset on the program and it’s not actually the 24th produced aircraft or whatever half a decade after the actual first flight.

2 - Two of Reece James' three goals in 2025 have been on direct free-kicks (also vs. Bournemouth in January), with those being Chelsea's only two direct free-kick goals this calendar year. Strike.

More than three billion people in the world do not have access to modern energy sources, such as electricity, for cooking.

Instead they have to rely on solid fuels, such as crop waste, wood, and coal, that cause indoor air pollution. This pollution kills millions of people every year.

On a day like today, February 24, 2003, the Boeing 777-300ER took its first flight. As an extended-range variant of the 777-300, it introduced powerful GE90-115B engines, raked wingtips, and improved fuel efficiency. All Nippon Airways (ANA) was among its early operators. #Airways #Avgeek
