5. Boeing 777-9

The largest aircraft in the Boeing 777 family, the 777-9 has a wingspan of 236 feet and a length of 252 feet, making it the world’s largest and longest twin-engine commercial aircraft. Once it goes into service, the 251-foot-long aircraft will ferry up to 425 passengers on long-haul flights—spanning up to 7,285 nautical miles—around the world.

Based on the success of the previous 777 generations, the much improved 777-9 will feature new technologies, including retractable wingtips and two of the most powerful engines to ever be equipped on a commercial aircraft, the General Electric GE9X. To get an idea, one such engine is as wide as the fuselage of a 737. Although development has been delayed due to engine problems and issues with structural testing, the 777-9 aircraft performed a new flight test on December 17, 2022.
