Living in Dubai, Emirates Airline and staff and crew of the Airline are people that everyone knows and identifies with. From giant multi million deals for the Airbus A380 or its now standard Boeing 777, emirates is on track to become on of the biggest airline companies in the world. In fact according to many sources online Emirates is now the largest operator of its flagship Boeing 777. As a person living around the Airline (Construction of Airports) I would like to showcase the construction of one of the worlds most used aircraft.

The video features some awesome and cool infographic sort of information overlay on the video, taking this one step ahead I would also want to showcase some of the amazing and really interesting additions to the Aircraft.

• Fly By Wire : In designing the 777 as its first fly-by-wire commercial aircraft, Boeing decided to retain conventional control yokes rather than change to sidestick controllers as used in many fly-by-wire fighter aircraft and in many Airbus airliners. Along with traditional yoke and rudder controls, the cockpit features a simplified layout which retains similarities to previous Boeing models. The fly-by-wire system also incorporates flight envelope protection, a system which guides pilot inputs within a computer-calculated framework of operating parameters, acting to prevent stalls and overly stressful maneuvers. This system can be overridden by the pilot in command if deemed necessary.
• Fully Software Configurable Avionics : It comprises electronic systems for use on aircraft, artificial satellites and spacecraft, comprising communications, navigation and the display and management of multiple systems. It also includes the hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to meet individual roles; these can be as simple as a search light for a police helicopter or as complicated as the tactical system for an airborne early warning platform. But to have these systems to be completely software configurable would take a lot of trust and in turn, lot of work into the Avionics software.
• All Glass cockpit Flight Display : Pioneered by Honeywell, the Honeywell LCD all glass cockpit flight display brings large, clear, full-color liquid crystal display (LCD) units into the cockpit to help meet today’s requirements for enhanced features and situational awareness. With the first certification of the all-glass cockpit in the Boeing 777 using active matrix liquid crystal displays, the Boeing 777 and Honeywell have crossed an important landmark in cockpit design.
• Electronic Flight Bag : Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) is an electronic information management device that helps flight crews perform flight management tasks more easily and efficiently with less paper. It is a general purpose computing platform intended to reduce, or replace, paper-based reference material often found in the Pilot’s carry-on Flight Bag, including the Aircraft Operating Manual, Flight Crew Operating Manual, and Navigational Charts (including moving map for air and ground operations). In addition, the EFB can host purpose-built software applications to automate other functions normally conducted by hand, such as performance take-off calculations.
• First use of a fiber optic avionics network on a commercial airliner.

These amazing innovations in the aviation industry will make very interesting times ahead. So before closing the post I would like to leave you all with another Emirates video, this one is actually the project that I worked with, the Dubai International Airport, Terminal 3.
