What happens if you steal a seat in first class?
flight attendants have a passenger list and they know what seats are occupied. you will be asked to go back to your seat or pay.
Is the Boeing 777 bigger than the 747?
Yes and no. Boeing makes multiple models of both aircraft. It really depends on the model.
To answer in short the largest Boeing 777 in production is longer and wider than any 747 ever made to date.
The 777-200s and 777-300s are currently the largest Commecial Airliner Boeing makes, however Boeing has indicated that a few new models of the 747 are on the drawing board that may bring it back to the top of the chart.
See Boeing's Website (They provide detailed specs and diagrams)
What are boeing 747 wheels made from?
Mainly aluminium Alloys, steel axles and fasteners. Rubber tires.
How much speed does an airplane need for takeoff?
A small Cub needs approx 80 knots whilst an A380 can lift at 140.
What is speed of airplane at take off and landing?
It can be anywhere between 80 and 140 knots depending on aircraft
Is the Boeing 747 the biggest plane?
No. The Airbus A380 is the biggest passenger plane in the world.
How many tyres does antonov have?
Denpends on WHICH Antonov Aircraft you're talking about. Antonov is a factory, a producer. They make/have made several different types of Aircraft.
What are the parts and function of an airplane propeller?
Aileron: To roll left & right.
Aileron Trim: To roll left & right a little.
Anti-Collision Warning Beacon: A red light to warn other aircraft and help prevent mid-air collisions.
A.P.U. Exhaust: This is the exhaust pipe for the A.P.U. (Auxiliary Power Unit). The A.P.U. is an engine in the tail of the aircraft. It is used only on the ground. It generates electrical power for the aircraft and is used to start the jet engines.
Cockpit / Flight Deck: In this room, pilots aviate, communicate, and navigate.
Elevator Trim: To pitch up & down a little.
Engine Cowling: The main cover or housing of the engine.
Engine Mounting: Used to fix the engine to the wing.
Flap: To increase lift during take-off and landing. Pilots extend the flaps to increase the wing's area. This increases the lift.
Fuselage: The body or structure of the aircraft.
Horizontal Stabiliser: Stabilises the aircraft around the lateral axis.
Landing Gear: Pilots extend or retract the landing gear (wheels) during take-off and landing.
Leading Edge: Front section of the wing.
Main Elevator: To pitch up & down.
Main Rudder: To yaw (turn) left & right.
Nose Gear: The front wheels of the aircraft. Aircraft also have MAIN GEAR (wheels under the aircraft's wings) and sometimes BODY GEAR (wheels under the aircraft's body).
Propeller: Gives an aircraft thrust or power.
Pylons: Used to stabilise the air flow behind the wing. Without pylons, the air is unstable. This makes drag, and reduces the aircraft's speed and performance.
Radome: The aircraft's radar is inside the radome or nose of the aircraft.
Rudder Trim: To yaw left & right a little.
Speed Brakes / Air Brakes: Used to slow the plane in the air and while landing.
Spoilers: Used to destroy lift and keep the plane on the ground. This is important while landing. Without spoilers, the plane bounces on the runway. This can damage the landing gear. Some pilots prefer hard landings to help prevent bounce.
Stabiliser Trim: To increase the angle of attack (A.O.A.). Basically, the angle of attack is the angle the wing hits the air.
Trailing Edge: Back section of the wing.
Vertical Stabiliser: Stabilises the aircraft around the vertical axis.
Vortex Generator: Used to create lift in areas of the wing that have no or very little lift, for example, next to the engine mounting.
Winglet: Used to reduce the vortex at the end of the wing. A vortex is unstable circular air. It makes drag, and reduces the aircraft's speed and performance.
Wing Tip: The end or tip of the wing.
When did The Boeing aircraft manufacturing start?
Boeing founded in 1916. Its first aircraft, Boeing Model 1, was manufactured in the same year.
How many seats on a Boeing 747-400?
747-400ER 416 seats 23 first class, 80 business class and 313 economy class.
What is the size of jumbo jet fuel tank?
The 747-8l has a total fuel capacity of 64,225 U.S. gallons. Fuel is normally distributed across five separate tanks - two in each wing and one in the fuselage.
Was Boeing 707 the first jetliner?
No but it was the first commercially successful jet liner. The first jet liner was the de havilland comet.
What is larger a a380 or a Boeing 797?
first off there is no b797 there is a b787 and that is smaller than a A380.
The aircraft gains speed. Its wing is curved on top and flat on bottom, so it gains lift. Then it soars into the sky with its nose pointing up.
The DC 9 and MD 80 use servo tabs to drive the elevator and ailerons. The flight controls are free moving and the air flowing over the servo tabs moves the flight control surface. Take a look at the elevators when the airplane is on the ground and you will often see the elevators on the horizontal stabilizer in different positions when you would expect to have them in the exact same angle. When the airplane accelerates for take off, the airflow will align them.
What is the maximum takeoff of the Boeing 787 in kilograms?
B787-3:170,000 kg
B787-8: 228,000 kg
B787-9: 247,000 kg
