On November 10, 2005, a Boeing 777-200LR broke a new world record for the longest nonstop flight, travelling over 21,600 kilometers – nearly halfway around the world. The aircraft from Hong Kong to London was crewed by eight pilots and twenty-seven passengers. This record-breaking trip demonstrates the incredible capabilities of the 777-200LR, which can fly vast distances at tremendous speeds.
The 777-200LR is a member of Boeing's 777 aircraft family, which is widely regarded as one of the most successful aircraft families in history. The 777-200LR is the longest-range and most fuel-efficient member of the 777 series, with a nonstop range of more than 20 hours. Two Rolls-Royce Trent 895 engines, the most powerful engines ever utilized on a commercial airplane, power the 777-200LR.
The 777-200LR has a range of more than 11,000 miles, making it an excellent choice for long-distance flights.
