Aircraft rubric2026 criteria

Estimate from the variant's published specs, 0-5; scores are only comparable within one criteria year. Original 777-200 (A-market, PW4084; first flight, certification, delivery and EIS pins). Range 5,240 nmi (9,700 km) basic 777-200 = 3.0 (Boeing figures in the pin's spec list). Capacity 305 typical three-class seats = 4.0 (maker's typical). Speed: Mach 0.84 (Boeing 2008 release; BA captain in Flight International) = 3.5. Efficiency 2.0: Aircraft Commerce no.60 (Oct/Nov 2008, Jeppesen plans) gives the 777-200 (PW4077, MTOW 545,000 lb, Boeing's 305 seats) 23,183 USG LHR-IAH (4,349 nmi) + 20,551 USG IAH-LHR (4,269 nmi): 43,734/305 = 143.4 USG = 542.8 L per seat over 15,961 km = 3.40 L/seat/100 km (modelled; engine/weight differ from the range figure). Comfort 3.0: three independent economy reports (Cranky Flier 2024, Simple Flying 2019, 2025): comfortable seats, smooth ride, dated product; cabin width/noise not opened. Runway null (graphs only).

Suggest a correction

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
