Boeing 777: People Working Together to Produce the Triple Seven - Hardcover

by Dan Dornseif (Author), Alan Mulally (Author)

The "Triple Seven" is the most produced widebody jet airliner in history and remains a fixture for many of the world's great airlines today. The 777 was the first Boeing airliner to be designed using digital software, and the first to utilize "fly-by-wire" controls. Such innovations were incubated by and executed through a leadership and management system dubbed "Working Together." In the creation of this work, author Dan Dornseif enjoyed the collaboration of many individuals directly involved with the airplane's development and operation, including Alan Mulally, who was Boeing's director of engineering and general manager of the 777 project. This book is written for experts and laymen alike and includes more than 400 photos and diagrams.
