The Boeing 777 is the first Boeing jetliner to be 100% digitally designed using three-dimensional computer graphics. Throughout the design process, the airplane was "pre-assembled" on the computer, eliminating the need for a costly, full-scale mock-up. The airplane is larger than all other twinjet or trijet airplanes and smaller than the 747. Boeing launched 777 program in October 1990.

Boeing's eighty year history spans decades of rich achievement and technological development, first with the manufacture of sea-planes, then fighters and, from the 1930's onwards, huge bombers, innovative transports and finally, gigantic airliners, missiles, rockets and vehicles from moon exploration. Yet just after the First World War, Boeing only survived by accepting orders for the manufacture of sea-sled boats,canoes, and furniture, by rebuilding 354 Liberty-engined de Havilland DH-4s and acting as a sub-contractor for other companies' military
