Behind the Scenes: How Boeing Built Our Latest 777F Airplane
November 1, 2017
Each Boeing 777F airplane is made of more than 3 million individual parts.
And our newest 777F is a unique one. It’s part of the ecoDemonstrator program, and will be used for a series of tests to improve environmental performance and safety of future airplanes.
A large range of technologies will be tested, including compact thrust reversers, flight deck innovations, and fuel efficiency.
Check out the video below for a behind the scenes peek inside the Boeing factory with the building of this plane!

I have been with FedEx for about a year now. I love to see this aircraft rolling in.
The idea of better fuel efficient planes is a giant step for the aviation industry, very proud FedEx is on board.
COOOL!!!
Boeing is a great American company with dedicated employees, much like FedEx. What a great partnership to improve the future of environmentally responsible aviation!
777F looks like a really big deal especially when many of the MD 10 aircraft are retiring, including N306FE, which has the name “John” on it.
I have been with the company over 35 years and it is great to see all the innovations and changes for the Future . From the Falcons to the 777F it has been a journey!!!!
