Four GE turbofan engines generate 56,000 pounds of thrust each. This adds to 224,000 pounds of thrust altogether.
Boeing created the Boeing 747.
Joseph Sutter is the father of the Boeing 747
A Boeing 747 has four engines.
The 747-400 use 3 different engine manufacturers; Pratt & Whitney, General Electric and Rolls Royce.
One engine produces 56,000 pounds of thrust.
The engines. The engine gives the plane thrust and it makes the plane move.
The 747-200 has engines rated at 55,145 pounds of thrust. This equated to 87,325 hp.

The Boeing 747-8F cost $352 Million

This information should be available on the Boeing website or other avaition-related websites. For a quick answer, I will related my experiences from 1970's. Boeing certified the B747-200 to operate with General Electric CF6-50 engines. During take-off power, each GE engine could produce 56,000 lbs of thrust per enginer: or 224,000 lbs for a few minutes. Now, the larger B747-400 a/c have more powerful engines. Currently each engine on a Boeing 747-400 can generate a maximum of about 63,300 lbs of thrust. Accordingly, since this aircraft has four engines it can produce total thrust of about 253,000 lbs.
A Boeing 747 has a price range of 228 to 297 million dollars.
The Boeing 747-400 series have a PW4000 turbofan engine aircraft. Each 747 carries 4 of them; 2 on each wing.
No, its not even close. The 747 is much larger and much heavier. The 747 has a much greater payload capacity as well.
The Maximum Take-Off Weight for a Boeing 747-100 is 333, 390kg; a Boeing 747-200 and 747-300 is 377,842kg; a Boeing 747-400 is 396,890kg; a Boeing 747-400ER is 412,775kg and the Boeing 747-8I is 442,253kg.
