Summary:The author describes the new Boeing 777 which incorporates the
most advanced avionics of any commercial US aircraft and is the first
plane of any kind to be almost entirely computer-designed. The 230,000
kg plane is the biggest twin-engine aircraft ever to fly, uses the
largest and most powerful jet engines ever developed, and is the first
US-built commercial transport to rely completely on fly-by-wire controls
