Why The Range Of The Boeing 777-200LR Was Too Long

The Boeing 777-200LR is one of the longest-range aircraft in the world, capable of up to 8,555 nautical miles (15,843 km) at once. This even outranks aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747. However, despite being ahead of its time and destined to operate incredible routes, the aircraft was not particularly commercially successful. In a curious twist of fate, one of the reasons for this turned out to be the long range that should have been its greatest selling point.
