The 747 is lighter on landing because of the fuel it burned off during flight. This is true for all planes.

Where can one buy an aircraft landing lights?

Aircraft landing lights are key to takeoff and landing, and should always be working and checked prior to takeoff. Replacement lights can be purchased from Amglo and XEVision.


What is the take off and landing speeds of Boeing 757 200?

There is no single figure for Boeing 757-200 take off and landing speeds. Aircraft's take off and landing speeds depend on its performance and always depend on many flight conditions like: flight weight, flaps setting, air temperature, etc. These speends are usually pre-calculated by aircraft manufacturer and presented on table charts.


Do aircraft dump fuel before landing?

Not normally. This is an emergency procedure sometimes done because the maximum takeoff weight is usually larger than the maximum landing weight on aircraft carrying large passenger or freight loads. The dumping of fuel is one action that can be used in an inflight emergency; however, I can guarantee that the takeoff weight of ANY aircraft (unless refueled in flight) is ALWAYS greater than said aircraft's landing weight. Fuel used enroute will always reduce the gross landing weight. Aircraft are generally serviced with enough fuel to make its primary destination and an alternate runway (due of emergency). The landing weight can be adjusted by dumping fuel (normally) in case of damage to the aircraft or destination runway conditions (snow/ice, rain) requiring a lighter aircraft gross landing weight. Naval aircraft operating from Carriers routinely dump fuel to adjust for landing conditions (wet deck, reduced landing area, slower ship speed into the wind, etc...).


What wind do you takeoff into?

If it can be helped always land and take off into the wind (wind in your face)


When did The Boeing Airplane Company become The Boeing Company?

The company was always Boeing from the start in 1916. It was named after the founder of the company William E. Boeing.ANS 2Sorry, Knowitall. you are WRONG ! Boeing's company was first called Pacific Aero Products in 1916 and only changed to Boeing Airplane Company when America entered WW1 in 1917.


What is the tire size of Boeing 737 airplane?

The tire size of a Boeing 737 varies by model, but a common size for many variants is 27 x 7.75 R15 for the main landing gear tires and 24 x 6.75 R10 for the nose gear tire. These specifications can differ slightly depending on the specific version of the 737 and its operational requirements. Always refer to the aircraft's maintenance manual for precise tire specifications.


Does a plane have to have flaps deployed on takeoff?

No. Not always. For many airplanes, it may be required if the airplane is fullly loaded.


When landing a plane a pilot always aims for a what point landing?

2 point. Mains first then nose wheel.


How is an anemometer used in airports?

An anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed. Together with a weather vane, the airport can report the wind speed and direction to incoming planes to assist in preparing for landing. As planes almost always take off and land into the wind to improve lift at low ground speeds, the airport will typically specify the takeoff and landing direction to incoming planes and, if they have runways with more than one compass orientation, which set of runways to use.


Are bigger thing always heavier than smaller things?

No


How do you fiqure takeoff for 90 degree elbow?

To figure the takeoff for a 90-degree elbow in ductwork or piping, measure the diameter of the duct or pipe. The takeoff length is typically calculated as 1.5 times the diameter of the duct or pipe for standard installations. For precise fitting, consider the manufacturer's specifications and any additional factors such as insulation or system design. Always ensure that the takeoff aligns with the overall layout for optimal airflow or fluid movement.
