Boeing 777-200LR

Boeing · United States · first flew 2005 · airliner

The 777-200LR is the ultra-long-range variant, capable of non-stop flights exceeding 17,000 km, distinguished by its raked wingtip extensions and additional fuel capacity.

Recognition (WEFT)

W — Wings	Low-mounted, swept
E — Engines	2 × turbofan, wing-mounted
F — Fuselage	GE90-115B engines — same as -300ER; shorter fuselage than -300ER at 63.7 m
T — Tail	Conventional

WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.

Spot it by:

Distinctive upward-raked blended wingtip extensions at 64.8 m span — longer than -200ER and -300ER
Three additional centre-section fuel tanks visible as belly fuel cells; longer range than any production airliner
GE90-115B engines — same as -300ER; shorter fuselage than -300ER at 63.7 m

Identified by its distinctive upward-raked wingtip extensions, which are unique among 777 variants and give it the longest wingspan of any 777 except the folding-wingtip 777X.

History

Pakistan International Airlines launched the -200LR in February 2006. The type set a world record for the longest non-stop commercial flight. Only 59 were built; the high cost and limited seat count made it a niche product for ultra-thin long-haul routes.

Variants

No sub-variants; the LR configuration includes the auxiliary tank system as standard.

Where you'll see it

Operated by Delta Air Lines, Air India, Emirates and a handful of others on ultra-long-haul routes.
