Boeing 777 Airliner Tech
When she was rolled out and first took to the air in the final decade of the last century, the Boeing 777 was heralded as the “Twenty-First Century Jet.” To be sure, the terms “millennium,”
“21st century,” and “2000” were often overused marketing hype, but in the case of Boeing’s latest product, this moniker remains very much applicable even 20 years later. In the tradition of the other fine books in the AirlinrTech series, Jim Upton’s volume serves as a highly detailed introduction to this remarkable aircraft.
Like other AirlinerTech volumes (and even the WarbirdTech series), this is no coffee-table book. The pictures are simple black-and-white affairs, but they convey their information admirably. Even then, there is a full-color supplement in the middle to break up the monochrome. However, this is a book to be perused and read for it wealth of detailed technical information, and in that way, Upton’s book does what few others accomplish.
