Boeing officially launched the Boeing 777 Freighter, the world's largest twin-engine freighter, following the completion of a launch order from Air France.
Air France ordered five 777 Freighters, with options for three additional airplanes, to replace its 747-200F fleet. The first 777 Freighter is scheduled for delivery to Air France in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Air Canada also announced, in April, the inclusion of the 777 Freighter as part of its selection of 777s and 787s to renew its long-haul fleet. "The world wants the 777 Freighter and we're going to build it," said Alan Mulally, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
The 777 Freighter will be capable of flying 4,965 nautical miles with a full payload, making it the world's longest-range freighter.
With a maximum takeoff weight of 766,000 pounds, the 777 Freighter will have a revenue payload capability of 229,000 pounds.
