Love it cannot think of any other word just pure awesomeness!!!!!

[@flyinhawaiian5848]

Agreed! That beautiful all composite wing is incredible!

[@cellogirl11rw55]

I can believe how long its wings are! Oh, and I love the engine sound, too! Awesome!

[@flyinhawaiian5848]

Yes, it's an incredibly beautiful and efficient wing, and that sound . . . I think you summed it up nicely!

[@drakesessions3544]

never thought the engine sound would be deeper than the 787 one

[@flyinhawaiian5848]

Acoustic liners and a scalloped trailing edge (called chevrons) used on the 787 engine nacelles are very effective noise suppressors. This first 777-9X utilizes the more traditional nacelle design to house it's massive GE9X engines.
