B777 - B737
Had a chet the other with a bloke who claimed that the Diameter of the 777 GE90 engines,is the same as the diameter of the 737 fuselage.....
I find that hard to believe-does anyone one have any specs on these aircraft?

Depends on which engine.....
But the GE90 inlet cowl diameter is 153.74 ins. (3.905 mtrs).
The nacelle maximum diameter at it's widest point is 164.48 ins (4.178 mtrs).
methinks it just about pips the 737

I remember at Heathrow in January whilst on line up for take off looking at a United 777 just drawing up to the holding point in the wet and the 777's big powerful engines sucking up the moisture of the damp air. Looked really impressive.

I'd heard the same thing on a 777 promo video once, but that photo really puts it into perspective. Cheers Crash & Burn.
The same video also stated that the 777 fuel load was equal to the MTOW of a 727. Crazy stuff indeed.

Yes... 21st Century Jet was brilliant.
There's also a book by the same title.
I never saw all the programmes, but it is available in the US from PBS Video as a set of several videos. Quite expensive though. Wish it would come out on DVD.
