Range on 777

Post by CRGaming » Wed Jun 28, 2023 12:18 pm

Hi, It seems the range on several 777 is incorrect.

This doc is from boeing.

https://www.boeing.com/farnborough2014/ ... ounder.pdf
The 777-300 carries 388 passengers with a range up to 5,845 nautical
miles (10,820 km). The 777-200ER (Extended Range) carries 314 passengers with a
range up to 7,510 nautical miles (13,900 km).
To offer airlines additional flexibility in serving nonstop routes, Boeing introduced
two new longer range 777 airplanes. In May 2004 Boeing delivered the first 777-300ER,
which carries 386 passengers with a range of 7,825 nautical miles (14,490 km). In
February 2006, Boeing delivered the first 777-200LR Worldliner (Longer Range), which
carries 314 passengers up to 9,290 nautical miles (17,205 km).
777-300 5,845nm
777-200ER 7,510nm
777-300ER 7,825nm
777-200LR 9,290nm

if you notice those number you are quoting are all range with a given payload, which for our purposes is useless. We need range with maximum fuel. The number we really want is the ferry range, the range with maximum fuel and zero payload. Operators always have the option of flying a longer route with reduced payload.

I did double check to make sure the numbers we have in the database are farther than the ones you quoted, and they are.
