Boeing produces 600th 777 faster than any other twin aisle airplane in history

by Braniff on December 18, 2006

The 777 program reached this milestone after 11 years in service, faster than any other twin-aisle airplane program in history.

If the 787 really only takes 3 days to assemble it will achieve this milestone much quicker. We estimate the 787 could reach this milestone between 4.5 to 5 years, half the time of the 777. But Boeing has to sell 600 first.

By comparison with other aircraft deliveries:
A330(1988) – 2004 – 16 Years
A300(1974) – 1989 – 15 Years
B747 (1969) – 1984 – 15 Years
B767 (1982) – 1996 – 14 Years
B777 (1995) – 2006 – 11 Years
