The Boeing 757 typically uses two Pratt & Whitney PW2040 or Rolls-Royce RB211-535 engines, each producing around 20,000 to 26,000 pounds of thrust. To convert this thrust to horsepower, one can use the conversion factor where 1 pound of thrust is approximately equal to 1.5 horsepower. Thus, each engine produces roughly 30,000 to 39,000 horsepower, depending on the specific engine variant and its settings.
111,115 lbs. of thrust ea.
Yes, much. The 757 is a narrow body, one storey aircraft, while the 747 is a widebody and has 2 levels.
The Boeing 777 is a two engine jet airplane. If one engine fails and the other engine is still working, yes it can still fly with one engine.
Yes, he partially owns a Boeing Business Jet, as a member of Netjets. He also owns a Boeing 757...yes that one. Oh and he bought his sister one as well I heard.
Sorry- no one engine, no one horsepower, no one answer.
Well, honey, a Boeing 747 typically has four engines, each with a whopping horsepower of around 56,750. So, if you do the math, that's a whole lot of power propelling that big bird through the sky. Just imagine the size of the engine needed to generate that kind of oomph!
The top 10 aircraft in terms of handling, and reliability (not including terrorist threat) are; Boeing 737 with CFMI engines, at one crash per 4.8 million flying hours. The other nine aircraft are: Boeing 757; Airbus A320; Boeing 767; Boeing 737NG; Boeing 747; Airbus A330; Airbus A340; and Boeing 777
The first Boeing 757-200 rolled out in January of 1982 and made its first flight one month later. Whereas the Airbus A320 made its first flight in February of 1987. however Boeing just concluded the 23-year run of the 757 and ceased manufacturing them in November 2005. With exactly 1050 757-200's built and sold and over 1030 are still in service. On the other hand Airbus is still producing A320's and as of October 2011, they had sold 4,858, of which 4,765 are still in service.
The Boeing planes, and most modern multi-engine aircraft, can still manage to fly even if one engine stopped to function.
One engine produces 56,000 pounds of thrust.
It was a Boeing 757. American Airlines Flight 77 out of Dulles International headed for Los Angeles. (Boeing 757-223 N644AA, delivered 8-5-1991) 59 passengers and crew were onboard.
You can have cheap, or you can have horsepower. Pick one.
