In the Boeing 777 page, seating in a 3-class configuration for the Boeing 777-300ER is listed as 365 (8F + 70J + 273Y) and in the Boeing 777X page, the Boeing 777-9 is listed as 349 (8F + 49J + 292Y). Considering that the Boeing 777-9 is 2.84m longer than the Boeing 777-300ER with the same cabin width across the two, the Boeing 777-9's seating capacity should be larger than the Boeing 777-300ER and not the other way around. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.8.123.36 (talk) 15:10, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
This section is very unclear. Different parameters and different units are quoted for the various engine choices, which makes comparison difficult.Nigelrg (talk) 20:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
Lufthansa changed their 777X order. They converted 14 of their actual orders to 14 options. So just 6 of the 20 ordered 777-9X remain for the fleet delivery. MaverickMitchell777 (talk) 07:35, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
It is simply not known as of yet, since there is not real flight data. The first paragraph of WP:CRYSTALBALL Starts with: Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation or presumptions. Wikipedia does not predict the future. Why is it so hard to understand that? --Rabenkind (talk) 21:57, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
not a collection of unverifiable speculation or presumptions.not the case : it is verifiable through the ref.
5. not a collection of product announcements and rumorsthe goal is to avoid stubs. Not the case here, the 777X coverage is enough to have a dense, sourced article.
forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources. Input from other editors would be welcome!--Marc Lacoste (talk) 06:34, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
I’m not sure of proper etiquette regarding articles that were written years ago with references to future dates. Are they to be corrected when the future date becomes current or past? I found this article hard to read due to inconsistent tenses. Past dates are written in future tense (eg. the wings will be designed in 2015) and in the next paragraph past tense is used (eg. the testing was done in 2018). I have noticed this, to a lesser extent, in other articles, but this one us full of incorrect tenses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjones5922 (talk • contribs) 04:02, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
The cargo capacity for the 777-9 is listed as 8,131 cu ft (230.2 m3) while the cargo capacity of the 777-8F is listed as 27,056 cu ft (66.1 m3) - this doesn't seem right? 211.30.150.6 (talk) 09:53, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
There is a announced freighter version of 777X called 777XF (not released yet), which literally only consists of the 777-8F Emrys382 (talk) 14:25, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
With the changes to the 777-8F, Boeing made changes to the passenger version of the 777-8. The length of the revised 777-8 passenger version is the same as the 777-8F. This has increased the two-class passenger capacity. Boeing also revised the stated range of the 777-8.

In the specification section, the fuel capacity is correctly mentioned except in ton. There is no way that 197,360 l of jet fuel could weigh 197.2 t. The correct figure in my opinion is 154.94 t. Umbra55 (talk) 10:01, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
In the development > production > 2019 section, the September stress test of the Boeing plane is mentioned. It says that the cargo door blew off, but it was actually the passenger door which blew off (correctly stated a few sentences later).
The mistake is probably due to outdated news sources that were later corrected as per the Seattle Times (the source referenced by the article section in question, anyway). Seattle Times article 50.29.227.93 (talk) 07:43, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
"Launch" says Lufthansa, "Orders" says Emirates (although almost a year later)? 2003:DC:F71A:E200:E96E:822:1E67:CA2F (talk) 21:02, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
