The 747-400, the latest version in service, is among the fastest airliners in service with a
high-subsonic cruise speed of Mach 0.85 (567 mph or 913 km/h).
If it were possible to fly one of them to the moon, travel in a straight line, and maintain
that speed, the trip would last 421.5 hours (17days 13hours 31minutes) of continuous flight.

∙ 12y agoA Boeing 747 will never reach the moon. A Boeing 747 can fly at at a maximum altitute of 41,000 feet (7.76 miles). The moon is 238,857 miles away. A Boeing 747 also has a maximum speed of about 560 miles per hour. This speed is not sufficient to break away from the earths gravity. You need to travel up to 18,000 miels per hour to achieve that.

Why does a rocket take more fuel to launch off the moon than earth?
Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.
