21st Century Jet

In 1995, United Airlines received the first Boeing 777, marking the culmination of a massive, multibillion-dollar gamble by the Boeing Corporation. This book chronicles the ambitious project to design and build a revolutionary two-engine jumbo jet, intended to compete with other manufacturers and even Boeing's own 747. It offers an inside look at the engineering, management, and financing of this groundbreaking aircraft, which was entirely computer-designed and featured fly-by-wire technology.
