The 777 Freighter will begin flight testing within weeks, and already Boeing is drawing provisional plans for a freighter version of the 787. The sixth member of the 777 family, the freighter has a takeoff gross weight of 766,000 lb. and a range of 4,885 naut. mi. that allows it to slip in just below the payload capacity of the 747 series, Boeing’s best-known freighter family.
