As the future is continuously changing, the aviation Industry is facing a deep crises on the product modifications they have to do in order to survive the Industry. Since there are only two Giants of the Aviation Industry i.e., Boeing and Airbus. Both of the Companies are betting harder to develop the Wider Range of Aircraft's that can accommodate many passengers at once, and can also act as the replacements of the Big Jumbo Jets.

Lets talk about Boeing, it was in 2013 that the Boeing announced a newer version of one of its popular jets i.e, 777-300 ER(ER- Extended Range) and named it Boeing 777 x that would surpass the range and seating capacity of its predecessor. With its Introduction Boeing secured more than 350 Orders of this aircraft and it was in late 2017 when it started assembling the 777 x.

With the 777 x Boeing has made few changes like introduction of a folding wing tip that will reduce the wing span with up to 7 meters. It would also have a new Composite Fan Blade Engine called the GE - 9 x( named the Worlds Powerful Commercial Jet Engine by Guinness Book of World Records).

However no everything is going right with this aircraft, with the grounding of 737 Max and some of the Compressor Problems in the Engine, the First Flight has been shifted to 2020.

Lets hope for the Best!!!
