The story
The 777-200 launched in 1995 and proved twin-engine widebodies could replace 747s on long-haul routes.
The 777 was the first airliner designed entirely on computer. Boeing built one physical mock-up of the nose to check the software, and it worked so well the other mock-ups were cancelled.
