Boeing 777x will be the first passenger plane with folded wings. Its construction will soon start ..The construction of a new generation passenger aircraft has been officially approved by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The published document explains the "special conditions" that an aircraft manufacturer must meet777x to enter active service.

Boeing 777x is to be the most efficient twin-engine aircraft in the history of aviation. The distinctive feature of 777x competition solutions are wings. This will be the first machine in which the material used for the production of wings will be carbon fiber. their span is 72 m, which means that 777x will not fit into typical hangars. For this reason, he will have folded wings

It is exactly the 7-meter end fragments of the wings, which during the stop of the aircraft consist of limiting the wingspan to 65 m. Thanks to this solution, the plane will be operated without any problems at all airports around the world without introducing additional modifications.

In order for the folded wings to be accepted by the FAA, solutions such as an alarm warning against the start of the aircraft with folded wings or the resistance of the tips to winds at 120 km / h had to be created
