How many pilots for b767 are there in Kenya airways?
Kenya Airways has around 200 pilots qualified to fly the Boeing 767 aircraft. However, this number can fluctuate based on the airline's operational needs and pilot availability.
What is the difference between Airbus 300 Airbus 340 and Airbus 380?
Size and Number of Engines The A300 is a 2-engine passenger/cargo jet. The A300B2 is short-ranged; the A300B4 is short- to medium-ranged; the A300-600 and -600R are medium-ranged. The A310 is a much shorter variant that has a longer range than the A300, and like the -600 has a newer electronic cockpit. The A340 is a much longer, 4-engine aircraft derived from the A300. It was designed to be immune to FAA regulations on two-engine planes. It failed to meet Airbus' expectations because it was undermined by rapidly-improving twinjets such as the B767, B777, and A330, after the FAA started allowing two-engine aircraft to fly longer routes. The A380 is the new super-jumbo jet that has 2 cabins (or 2 floors). It is Huge with a gross weight that tops 1,000,000 lbs. Its high capacity, long range, and higher fuel efficiency per seat than (every single iteration of) the Boeing 747 is intended to break Boeing's monopoly on the high-capacity-airliner market. It's so big, though, that it needs a longer takeoff/landing run and terminals also need to be modified to accommodate its larger wingspan, as well as adding that extra upper-deck jetway that wasn't really needed for the smaller B747. Because of this, many airlines still prefer the 747. The A380F was a planned cargo version of the A380, but it was postponed until production of the A380 stabilized.
How many wide-body aircraft have been built at the Boeing Everette facility?
B747 1390 B767 955 B777 655 Total 3000 airplanes Of these 2,610 are still flying. The majority of those that are not flying are retired B747s. Source: Recent news article in "Aviation Week".

How fast do passenger jets travel before take off?
Somewhere around 100 knots or approx 100 mph.AnswerWhile actual take off speed varies according to a number of factors, such as aircraft weight and density altitude, typically, a large transport type jet such as the B767 would rotate somewhere between 140 to 160 knots. It takes about 3 steps to take off1. V1(190knots)2. V2(195knots)3.Rotate(200knots), and take off
What is the fuel savings of an airliner cruising at 40000 feet leaving Denver on a 1000 mile leg vs an airport at sea level?
Very little. Denver is at 5,000 feet altitude. From sea level a loaded airliner like the B767 initially climbs about 2500 fpm. While gaining the takeoff speed from Denver uses more fuel. So there is a two minute difference in a two hour flight at most. There can't be much fuel savings, and the fuel at Denver might be more expensive.
What would be the temperature in cargo hold of passenger jetliner when in flight?
It actually depends on what sbeing arried in each section. Pilots can moderate temperatures in sections independant to others. However, in general they would be for a B767 - The lower pits are maintained around 50 deg F. B757 - Between 50 deg F and 70 deg F. A300 - Between 2 deg C and 26 C. the idea is to moderate efficiently for the stock carridge as these areas take more power the wamer they have to be kept.

What is an airbus a340?
The A 340 is a long-range four-engine wide-body commercial passenger jet. It can fly over 15,000 kms carrying up to 500 passengers in economy configuration. The A340, along with the DC-10 and the MD-11, were designed to compete with the Boeing 747 on long-range, high-capacity routes. It was derived from the smaller, two-engined A300. The A340 was drawn up at a time when FAA restrictions on two-engine planes were much stricter. According to the FAA, two-engined planes had a higher chance of engine failure, simply because they had fewer engines. The logic was that, if two engines failed, the plane was screwed. The A340, DC-10, MD-11, and B747 all have more than two engines; if two engines fail, the plane can still fly. 3- and 4-engined planes were permitted to fly the longer routes that two-engined planes were, historically, forbidden from flying. Later on, the FAA realized that both engines on a two-engine airliner were very unlikely to fail at cruise altitude. So they introduced ETOPS, which allowed two-engined aircraft such as the B767, B777, A300-600R, A310, and A330 to fly much longer routes than before, and this pretty much ruined the A340, DC-10, and MD-11. The MD-11 became a failure, partly because McDonnell Douglas had stubbornly refused to break their trijet tradition. The A340 failed to adequately compete with its intended rival the B747, which, with decades of history and reputation, as well as its higher capacity, is still the preferred choice of most airlines around the world (even though it is far less efficient than the A340). "Mini-jumbos" like the B777 were also preferred over the A340 due to higher fuel efficiency. Smaller variants of the A340 also suffered from internal competition by the A330, the two-engined little sister of the A340. So as an answer to your question, an Airbus A340 is a long-range, wide-body, four-engined airliner designed to be immune to the restrictions of the FAA on two-engine airliners, and to compete with the aging B747. It wasn't a failure like the MD-11, but it certainly did not meet Airbus' expectations, because its market was undermined by rapidly improving twin-jet airliners such as the 767, 777, and A330. Production ended in 2011.
Is it possible for the front window of an airplane located near the captain's seat to break under extreme circumstances like a bad landing?
Anything's possible, but it really depends on what kind of plane it is. The larger the plane, the more heavy duty the windows are. Commercial airliners are rated to withstand a pretty large amount of force at a higher altitude. Smaller planes aren't rated at all and break about as easily as a window in a house. == Probably not. It is possible that a portion of the instrument panel can fall down during a hard landing. Hail stones can cause severe damage to a windshield, but usually at high altitude when the aircraft is traveling faster. On the webiste airliners.net under Accidents, there is a copyrighted photo of a Boeing B767 window that cracked due to malfunction of the heating system on a flight from MBJ to ZRH about 3hrs before landing. And another photo of a Canadian CL-600 that was enroute from Harrisburg, Pa to Dallas/Fort Worth, Tx, when the first officers windshield "popped" at 40,000 feet. Also, there have been a few examples of a mid-air bird strike where a large goose struck the nose and crashed right through it and the pressure bulkhead and the instrument panel(or below it) and landed in the pilot's lap. ANSWER 3modern aircraft windows are made from laminated (multiple layers) of various strength high impact plastics - the laminations are designed so the window even if it shatters it holds together as a single unit - very rare for a modern aircraft window to come apart but what does happen is the window that breaks becomes opaque (you cant see through it) so a pilot would have to fly "blind" on insruments only Pilots are taught not to look out the windshield when they're flying under instrument rules. Switching from visual flight to instrument flight is a sure way to develop spatial disorientation and wind up flying into the ground. To answer the original question, it's possible for an airplane's windshield to break, but a landing bad enough to break a windshield would be bad enough to break the rest of the airplane. Impacts and failures of the windshield heater (airliner windshields are heated on every flight, and they are installed as inner and outer windshields so if an outer windshield breaks the plane doesn't depressurize) are what break windshields.
