How much fuel does a rocket carry?
The amount of fuel a rocket carries can vary greatly depending on its size, purpose, and destination. For example, the Saturn V rocket used in the Apollo program carried over 3 million kilograms of fuel. Today's Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX typically carries around 400,000 kilograms of fuel.
What fuel do living things use for energy-?
The fuel that living things use for energy is glucose.
Why do bigger stars die more quickly?
Bigger stars get hotter, and use up their fuel much faster than smaller stars.
How do you convert liters to gallons for jet A1?
There are two main types of jet fuel used for commercial turbine engines. The vast majority of turbine engines use a kerosene type of fuel, labeled Jet A-1 or Jet A. A blended kerosene and gasoline type, considered "wide-cut" and labeled Jet B, is rarely used except in very cold climates. Military jet fuels use variations of these two fuels, with the majority using the kerosene-type jet fuel.- Determine the number of gallons of jet fuel to be weighed.- Select the conversion factor, determined by the type of fuel. For kerosene types of fuel, use 6.76 pounds per U.S. gallon. For wide-cut kerosene types of fuel, use 6.36 pounds per U.S. gallon. If you are uncertain of the fuel type, use the standard kerosene type fuel conversion, since the other type is rarely used.- Multiply the number of gallons by the conversion factor. As an example, a Boeing 747 holds 57,164 gallons of fuel. Multiplying this by 6.76 pounds per gallon gives you the total fuel weight of 386,429 pounds.
Why are hydrocarbons used for fuel in stovescars and airplanes?
Airplanes use a fuel called kerosene.
What fuel does Boeing 747 use?
All 747's use Kerosene.
How much fuel does a 747 use on takeoff?
3000 gallons of it's 48500 gallon capacity
How much fuel does an idling 747 use per hour?
Different models of 747 use different engines from different companies with slightly different fuel consumption rates. A ballpark-accurate figure would be 400 gallons per engine, at idle speed. So with 4 engines on each aircraft, that's 1,600 gallons burned per hour just for sitting there at idle speed, not even taxi speed.
How much fuel does a Boeing 747 use every hour?
A 747 Classic averages 12,000 kg of fuel per hour. The 747-400 uses about 10,500 kg. per hr. These numbers also depend upon aircraft weight, altitude and temperature.
How many gallons of fuel does a 747 use per hour?
a lot
Where is the fuel tank on 747?
They use bladders, and they're located in the wings.
Type of fuel use for Boeing 747-400?
The 747 normally uses fuel called Jet A. The are other variants, Jet A1, JP4 etc. All are forms of kerosene.
How much fuel does a Boeing 747 use between London and New York?
The flight distance from London, United Kingdom to New York, New York is 3,470 miles. A Boeing 747 uses about five gallons per mile. For this trip, it would take 17,350 gallons of fuel.
How much fuel does Airforce One use?
The U.S. Government wont answer that question. Boeing says the 747-200 that it is based on uses 5 gallons per mile
What kind of fule does a use Boeing 747?
A Boeing 747 primarily uses Jet A or Jet A-1 fuel, which is a type of aviation turbine fuel (ATF). These fuels are kerosene-based and designed for high performance in jet engines. The 747's four engines are optimized for this fuel type, ensuring efficiency and reliability during flight. Additionally, the fuel is formulated to perform well in a wide range of temperatures and altitudes.
How much fuel does a jet use in an hour?
The new Gulfstream 650 will use about 3,000 pounds of jet fuel per hour. That's just under 440 gallons an hour. The 4-engined Boeing 747 burns about 25,000 lbs of fuel per hour on average. 747 running on GE engines can use up to 32000 lbs of fuel per hour on each engine at normal range of takeoff settings initial climb speed of a 747 is 1800 to 2400 feet per minute depending on load 777's engines for some reason are more greedy at takeoff, maybe its the high bypass ratio, they use fuel at a rate of 50,000lbs per hour, max, at normal range of takeoff settings
How much fuel do airplanes use?
Airplanes use varying amounts of fuel depending on their size, type, and distance traveled. On average, a commercial jet consumes about 3 to 5 gallons of fuel per mile. For example, a Boeing 747 can burn approximately 10 to 11 tons of fuel per hour during flight. Overall, fuel efficiency is measured in terms of gallons per passenger-mile, with modern aircraft designed to optimize fuel use.
