How much thrust is produced by a Boeing 747?
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.
Difference between airbus a380 and Boeing b747?
An A380 is a double story aircraft but the B747 is double story only in the front of the plane. A380's are alot newer the B747's.
Which is bigger Boeing 747 or DC-10?
The B747 has 4 engines, carries more people further, faster and more often. The DC - 10 was a trijet engined aircraft mostly used between cities. So B747 is bigger
Why do new aircraft contain an 8 in them for example B787 B747-8 the baseline A350-800 and A380?
basically just coincidence
How much is a B747-400 brand new airplane from Boeing?
b747-400 brand new from Boeing airplane company cost about $12.50 on special and $5.50 for just the plane without the engine.
What is the total horse power of all 4 engines of a Boeing 747?
The capacity of jet engines is measured in thrust: B747-400 with 4 American Pratt & Whitney PW4000: 4x 441 kN = 1764 kN B747-400 with 4 BritishRolls-Royce RB211 4x 272kN = 1088 kN In strictly technical terms, the engines on a Boeing 747 do not deliver any actual horsepower. Horsepower is a unit of applied power and thrust is a measurement of force. The thrust numbers presented above appear correct for thrust of the engines.
How many emergency exit in an B747-400 aircraft?
Including service doors, passenger doors, and cockpit hatch 11 on standard configuration.
What is the exhaust pipe on the rear of the Boeing 737 and 747 fuselage for?
On the very rear of the fuselage of the B747 is a round exhaust for the Auxillary Power Unit(APU). Every large passenger aircraft has an APU that is used to provide electrical & hydraulic power to the aircraft while it is on the ground (or also in the air during an emergency). The APU is a small jet engine that runs off the same fuel as the jet engines that provide thrust to the aircraft. The Wikipedia link shows a view of the APU exhaust and a view of the engine.

What is the best passenger aircraft?
It depends on the distance of your route Short Haul: 737-800 Mideum Haul: A330-300 Long Haul: B747-400 Super Long Range: A380-800
Length of 747?
a B747-400 is 231'10" long.
What are the top ten best airplanes?
b747-200
How much does it cost to deice an aircraft?
De-icing an aircraft involves spraying the outside of the aircraft, especially the control surfaces, with hot air blowers, hot water and an alcohol-based fluid. The fluid is the most expensive component, costing about $15/litre. A medium-sized airliner will need between 200-300 litres of fluid or $3,000 - $4,500 to de-ice. If the weather is very extreme, it could take 1,000 litres ($15,000) to clear a large aircraft, like a B747.
