The Boeing 777-8F is the freighter variant of the Boeing 777X family, a plane that is designed to replace and surpass the Boeing 777F on long-haul, heavy-cargo routes. The aircraft offers the Boeing 777X’s new carbon-fiber high-aspect-ratio wing (featuring folding wingtips) and GE9X engines that will cut fuel burn, noise, and carbon emissions per ton while preserving the Boeing 777’s volume and payload capabilities. The Boeing 777-8F offers a structural payload of around 118 tons, with a range exceeding 4,400 nautical miles. This will allow the aircraft to target lower per-tonne costs than any other twin-engine freighter in its class. The aircraft was launched in 2022 with Qatar Airways Cargo as the type’s launch customer, which placed an order for 34 jets with an additional 16 options.
