Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300 Special Livery



These Model Airplane are finely handcrafted, and hand painted by our artists – to scale and museum quality. 18 inches in length with custom models available. The B777 was built to bridge the gap between the 767 and 747. The B777 can accommodate over 300 passengers in typical three class layout.

Cathay Pacific currently operates twenty eight B777 in commercial service. This aircraft is in special livery, celebrating Hong Kong.

The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven". The aircraft has seating for over 300 passengers and has a range from 5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,372 km) depending on model.

Its distinguishing features include the largest diameter turbofan engines of any model aircraft, six wheels on each main landing gear, a circular fuselage cross-section, and blade-shaped tail cone.[5] Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 was designed to replace older wide-body airliners and bridge the capacity difference between the 767 and 747. As Boeing's first fly-by-wire airliner, it has computer mediated controls; it is also the first entirely computer-designed commercial aircraft.

The 777 is produced in two fuselage lengths. The original 777-200 model first entered service in 1995, followed by the extended range 777-200ER in 1997; the stretched 777-300, which is 33.3 ft (10.1 m) longer, began service in 1998. The longer-range 777-300ER and 777-200LR variants entered service in 2004 and 2006, respectively, while a freighter version, the 777F, debuted in 2008.
