EVERETT — Passenger experience is driving the Boeing Co.’s plans for the interior of the new twin-aisle 777X airliner. The company Tuesday committed to replicating some of the comforts of the 787, the cabin of which has impressed travelers with higher humidity, greater air pressure and larger windows than most other jetliners. Boeing officials made the announcement at the Farnborough International Airshow, a global aerospace trade show this week in the United Kingdom. The airplane maker promised that the 777X will: ■ Have a “cabin altitude” of 6,000 feet, which is lower than that of most airplanes — a good thing. As in the 787, the air pressure in the cabin will be roughly equivalent to outdoor atmospheric pressure at 6,000 feet above sea level. Most jetliners have a cabin pressure equivalent to about 8,000 feet. ■ Windows that are 15 percent larger than competitors’ and closer to eye level for many passengers. ■ More ambient light from the windows. ■ All-new interior design and cabin architecture that airlines can customize by ticket class.
