Is It True That The Boeing 777X Is Longer Than The Airbus A340-600?

For years, the Airbus A340-600 held the title of the longest passenger aircraft in the world, which defined its very silhouette. Its slender, stretched fuselage earned it the nickname “the long pencil”, a visual marvel that seemed to defy the traditional proportions of widebody jets. However, as the aviation industry shifted its focus from four engines to two, the question of length resurfaced with the announcement of the Boeing 777X. Enthusiasts and passengers alike have wondered if this new big twin finally pushes the boundary further than the classic Airbus quadjet.
