TOKYO: Japan's Toray Industries said Monday it has agreed to supply carbon fibre materials for Boeing's new 777X jet and the troubled Dreamliner as part of a 10-year deal worth more than one trillion yen ($8.6 billion).

The new plane is a large-sized twin-engine passenger aircraft currently being developed by Boeing as a successor to its existing 777, with a plan to deliver the first plane in 2020, Toray said in statement.
