Hello yet again, here's another fun fact: In 1999, Boeing once studied a further stretch of the 777-300X to 81 meters to carry 60-80 more passengers which would therefore increase the exit limit to 610-630 pax and make it a 747 replacement. Boeing abandoned that concept due to its length breaching the 80x80 limit for airports. Does that sound cool to you? :)
@ForeverPie Actually, first of all the 2x4x2 seating on the 797-900ER is actually of 19' premium economy which is wider than 18' standard economy. Therefore, the upper deck would have room for 3x3x3 standard economy seating. And secondly, the 797-900ER would have optional high density economy at 17', allowing for 3x6x3 seating on the main, possibly increasing the single class capacity to 1300+ pax.
@Boeing777x You got a point. The A380 holds 853 passengers in an all economy layout. 4 classes would require a bigger plane.
In a normal 3 class layout, the A380 holds 525 seats. Cabin has a 3x4x3 layout on both decks. In contrast, with the 797 there is a 3x5x3 on the lower deck and a 2x4x2 on the upper deck. That gives the A380 a total of 20 seats per row, combining both decks. The 797 has 19.
That means the A380 requires an average of 42.65 rows per deck (on average), while the 797 needs 44.9 rows per deck (on average) for the same all economy, 853 pax configuration.
However, this math does not take into account the planned layout for the 797, which has 2 specialized classes that take up only 4 seats per row on both decks. When you remove the specialized classes, you are left with 731 economy seats. I'm too lazy to do more math though, and my brain just shut down on me so there's no point trying.
@ForeverPie Oh no, not even close. The A380 is just 238 feet long, whereas the fan made 797-900ER I showed you looks to be much longer than that, possibly 290 feet or bigger. For a double decker like the 797-900ER to seat 800 passengers in 4 classes, it would have to be stretched at the to 290-300 feet.
@ForeverPie Indeed. I'm going to guess that the whole 797-900ER plane including the tail would be 300-310 feet in length, with a wingspan likely as wide as the fuselage is long at around 280-300 feet, a tail height of 90 feet, and would be powered by 4 GE9X engines. Do those sound like good estimates to you?
@ForeverPie Indeed. And it was probably the largest 777 variant ever proposed.
@Boeing777x its interesting

@Boeing777x It looks similar to the A380, except a bit wider, so length should be about the same as the A380.

@Boeing777x interesting
Hello, I'm back. Check this out. It's a detailed fan made floor plan of the Boeing 797-900ER. What do you think?
@ForeverPie Good job on the [REDADECT](Can’t spoil it)
Noice.
@ForeverPie ok
@Ploooperman Hopefully not more than a week, its already basically done but It might be delayed if I decide to put letters on it.
@Andrewtheplane Thanks dude!
@JoshEraDix2345 yep!
Hey! I just saw one of these the other day. Great Work!
E-3 Sentry?
How long until this is released?
