All four engines produce a total of 224,000 pounds of thrust.
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.
The thrust generated by the engines of a Boeing 747 is typically around 56,000 to 63,000 pounds-force per engine. Each Boeing 747 aircraft is powered by four engines, so the total thrust produced by all engines combined is roughly 224,000 to 252,000 pounds-force.
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.
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 power required for takeoff of a Boeing 737 varies depending on the specific model, weight, and environmental conditions. Generally, the engines produce thrust ranging from about 20,000 to 30,000 pounds per engine, with a total required thrust for takeoff typically around 80,000 to 100,000 pounds. This thrust allows the aircraft to achieve the necessary speed for liftoff, usually around 150 to 180 knots, depending on the configuration and load.
A Boeing 747 typically has four engines, and each engine produces approximately 66,500 to 70,000 pounds of thrust, depending on the specific model and engine type. This means the total thrust generated by all four engines can range from about 266,000 to 280,000 pounds. The high thrust allows the aircraft to efficiently take off and climb at high altitudes.

The horsepower of a jumbo jet can vary depending on the specific model, but a typical Boeing 747, for example, has engines that produce between 18,000 to 22,000 shaft horsepower each. With four engines, the total horsepower can be around 72,000 to 88,000 horsepower. However, it's important to note that jet engines are usually rated in thrust rather than horsepower, which is more common in automotive engines.
The maximum take off weight is 875,000 lbs.
