Landing Gear
Boeing B777 landing gear is the largest landing gear and the largest tires ever used in a commercial jetliner. Each main gear tire of a 777-300ER carries a maximum rated load of 64,583 lb (29,294 kg) when the aircraft is fully loaded, the heaviest load per tire of any production aircraft ever built.
Boeing 777 has retractable tricycle-type landing gear. Measco and Messieur Bugatti developed the main landing gear under a joint agreement, which features six-wheeled bogies. Control of the steering rear axles is automatically linked to the steering angle of the nose gear.
The Triple Seven main landing gear is fitted with Honeywell Carbenix 4000 brakes. Initial activation of the brakes during taxiing applies the brakes to alternate groups of three wheels only in order to minimise wear on the brakes. The nose gear is twin-wheeled and is steerable.
Landing Gear Incident
On March 1, 2005, after a PIA Boeing 777-200ER landed at Manchester International Airport, England, fire was seen around the left main landing gear. The crew and passengers were evacuated and fire was put under control. Some passengers suffered minor injuries and the aircraft sustained minor damage.
On January 17, 2008, British Airways Flight 38, a 777-200ER flying from Beijing to London, crash-landed approximately 1,000 feet (300 m) short of London Heathrow Airport's runway 27L, and slid onto the runway's threshold. This resulted in damage to the landing gear, wing roots and the engines.

The Nose of Boeing 777
The 777 has the same Section 41 as the 767. This refers to the part of the aircraft from the tip of the nose, going to just behind the cockpit windows. From a head-on view, the end of the section is very evident. This is where the bulk of the aircraft's avionics are stored.

Boeing 777 Models
Two characteristics are used by Boeing in order to define their Boeing 777 models.
- Fuselage Size
This affects the number of passengers and amount of cargo that can be carried. The 777-200 and derivatives are the base size. Boeing 777-200 aircraft was stretched into the 777-300A few years later.
- Range
These markets are used to compare the 777 to its competitor, the Airbus A340.
Boeing defined B777 into three segments:
- A market: 3,900 to 5,200 nautical miles (7,223 to 9,630 km)
- B market: 5,800 to 7,700 nautical miles (10,742 to 14,260 km)
- C market: 8,000 nautical miles (14,816 km) and greater
