Boeing

At the moment, it is the 747-400 BCF used to transport the parts for the 787 Dreamliner. In the next year or so, 747-800 will then the biggest.

The Boeing 747 uses four engines.

For airplanes you will not find such a figure called "fuel consumption." Also there are many versions of the 777 offering different ranges and payloads.

A jet engine's consumption also depends on the cruising altitude, payload, weather, and speed.

Fuel planning is part of the flight dispatch, is critical and not easy.

For a 2 hour flight in a 777, you are looking at "roughly" 14,000 kg/32,000 lbs (in airliners weight is used instead of volume) of fuel not taking into consideration the contingency fuel.

The Boeing 777 can either be landed manual by the pilots, or land with an ILS system or with the more advanced Autoland system, which, basically the plane lands itself.

The manufacturer of aircraft has little to do with flying speed. That is, all aircraft fly when lift exceeds drag. the term "Boeing" assumes a large airliner type aircraft. Many factors influence the speed at which a plane flys. Wing design, temperature, wind, and gross weight must be considered. Performance charts are consulted each time a plane takes off and speeds are adjusted based upon the above factors.

Boeing Co. and Airbus S.A.S, the world's largest airplane makers, plan to require more than 2,000 of their suppliers to begin tagging aircraft and engine parts with radio-frequency identification technology

The maximum fuel capacity for the Airbus A380 is 323,546 L (85,472 US gallons)

It usually get scrapped, or is used as a spares hulk, to provide spare parts for other 747's. The metal can be re-used to almost anything, soda cans for example.

The length of a Boeing 777-200 is 209 ft 1 in (63.7 m)

It depends on the pilot contract. Each company has different rates (dollars per hour flown) for each aircraft they operate. After that, it depends on how long (or the seniority) the pilot has been at the company (years of service). Most pilots have a minimum pay guarantee of 75 or 80 hours per month. So, take amount per hour times (x) 75 or 80 and that gives the base salary. Obviously if you fly more the pay is more, and vice versa. Read more: How_much_is_the_salary_for_a_pilot_per_month

The Boeing's vision statement is â??We are constantly re-examining our capabilities and processes to ensure that our company is as strong and vital as our heritage. In fact, our culture mirrors the heritage of aviation itself, built on a foundation of innovation, aspiration and imagination.â??

Planes move through air, but us humans are more interested in moving from one spot on the surface to another.

And wind is air moving WRT the surface.

If a plane flies into a headwind, it has to travel through more air to move the same distance over the surface, which increases travel time and fuel consumption.

If a plane can join a tailwind, the journey through the air becomes shorter for the same amount of movement over the surface.

It's like moving on those conveyor belts found on Airports. A person walking on and with the belt will be travelling a lot faster than a person walking on the floor with the same pace and gait.

A person walking on and against the belt will be travelling a lot slower than a person walking on the floor with the same pace and gait.

So if there's a wind heading in the right direction, a pilot can reduce flight time and fuel consumtion by using it.

And keep from using unneccesary fuel and flight time by staying out of headwinds.

The Boeing 707 could seat up to 179 passengers in the cabin. This plane was a four-engine jet airliner that was mid-sized.

Fully loaded 875,000 lbs or 396,890 kg.

The Boeing 747 has a wingspan of 195.8 inches. The plane started flying commercially in 1970, and was known as "Queen of the Skies."

You need to know how to design airplanes. To learn this you get a degree in aerospace engineering.

And when you DO get this degree and go to work for Boeing, you will quickly learn that airplanes, especially transport-category aircraft like Boeing makes, are so complex there's no way one person could design an entire airplane. They specialize--there's a team of engineers who do nothing but design the various ports and doors the ground crew uses when they work on a plane. If the ground crew can service an airplane fifteen minutes faster, that gives the passenger service agents fifteen more minutes to load the plane while maintaining the same schedule which makes the passengers happier, or it lets the plane leave fifteen minutes quicker which lets the airline make more money.

160 mph

That would depend on the model and new or used (and how old it was if used).

A new 747 costs about $250 million.

The price of jet fuel (JP5) varies from time to time and from place to place just like the prices of all other fuels.

It is usually about twice or three times as much as the current cost of automotive gasoline.

Boeing is in a partnership with Mcdonell-Douglas for its military operations, Although it is likely this will change to an ownership

10 passenger entry doors on the main floor. 2 emergency exit doors on the upper deck. An emergency escape hatch in the cockpit roof, 3 cargo doors in the belly and an electronics bays entrance door just aft of the nose landing gear.

Depending on the exact type, the cruising speed is about 475 knots, or 545 miles per hour.

In 1916, Boeing went into business with George Conrad Westervelt asB & W and founded the Pacific Aero Products Co.When America entered the First World War in April 1917, Boeing changed the name of Pacific Aero Products Co. to and obtained orders from the Boeing Airplane Company United states Navy for 50 planes. At the end of the war, Boeing began to concentrate on commercial aircraft, secured contracts to supply airmail service and built a successful airmail operation.
