Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, swept |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 2 × turbofan, wing-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | Fuselage the length of the 777-200LR, about 10 m shorter than the 777-300ER |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Extended raked wingtips of the second-generation 777
- Large-diameter GE90 turbofans, one under each wing
- Fuselage the length of the 777-200LR, about 10 m shorter than the 777-300ER
A 777 with the shorter -200 fuselage, raked wingtips and six-wheel main gear. A supernumerary area forward of the cargo barrier holds crew seats and bunks.
