    Why are you always such an arsehole? It's clear that you know nothing about aircraft, the 777X has the largest jet engines in existence and ought to look very ungainly but it's very elegant looking. The fan diameter of the GE9X engines are over 11 ft, as wide as the fuselage of a 737, and together with the pylons weigh 18 tonnes.

    You're about as useful as a reggae band at a Klan rally.

    I've flown on an A350-XWB before now and that's the A777X main rival.

    Indeed, very elegant. Sadly much as I love flying on the A-380 planes like this and the A350XWB are the future of long haul.

    The maiden flight was a complete success, time to buy some Boeing shares.
