Boeing 777-200LR
The 777-200LR "Worldliner" of 2006 was the ultra-long-range 777, trading capacity for fuel with extra tanks in the rear hold, raked wingtips and the most powerful engines ever fitted to an airliner. Seating around 300, it could fly nearly 17,400 km, and a delivery flight from Hong Kong to London the long way round set the record for the longest nonstop passenger flight. Few were sold, since only a handful of routes needed that reach, but it let carriers link almost any two cities on earth without a stop.
