How many passengers in one airplane?

50 to 60 on a standard plane. The larger they get the more people they can hold. Airplanes are very advanced presently and some can hold up to 300 people.

How fast can rockets go?

Rockets can reach speeds of up to 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour) when they travel into orbit. Interstellar spacecraft like the Parker Solar Probe can travel at speeds up to 430,000 miles per hour (700,000 kilometers per hour) when approaching the sun.

What is the coefficient of lift of a Boeing 747?

Ci = 0,30 at AoA=0 degrees

Ci = 0,80 at AoA=5 degrees

Ci = 1,30 at AoA=10 degrees

Ci = 1,75 at AoA=15 degrees

How much is a plane?

The price depends upon the how big the plane is and quality of the plane and its accessories.

Why is kerosene used for jet fuel?

Kerosene isn't. However, jet fuel, kerosene, and diesel fuel all are very similar. They're less refined than unleaded fuel, and that reduces the risk of on-board fires, for one. Additionally, they burn at a higher BTU rate than unleaded/petrol fuels.

How many doors are there in Boeing 747?

10 Passenger entry doors, 2 emergency passenger escape doors on the upper deck, 4 escape doors over the wings, 1 small escape door in the cockpit ceiling, 2 main cargo doors, 1 smaller bulk cargo door, 2 electrical compartment doors under the fuselage (1 of which provides access to the passenger compartment), and at least 7 other maintenance access doors in the wings, fuselage, and empennage (tail).

To answer, that's 22 external doors not counting maintenance accesses, 20 which can get you into the pax compartment (rear and bulk cargo compartments have no access).

This also doesn't count landing gear doors of which I believe there are 6) and internal doors as this will vary with the # of toilets and closets and crew rest comartments installed.

What is actually the color of the 'black box' of an airplane?

Bright Orange-RedA normal commercial aircraft's "black box" is orange. It was likely chosen because orange has the longest wavelength after red.

As the wavelength increases, the wave travels a longer distance. Seeing that red is already reserved for Danger signs, what follows after red is... orange.

What is the cruising speed of a jet?

According to Boeing, the cruising speed of their jets are as follows:

MD 90 -- Mach 0.76, or approximately 500 mph (812 km/hr)

707 -- 550 mph (885 km/h)

727 -- 570 to 605 mph (890 to 965 km/h)

737 -- Mach 0.82, or approximately 550 mph (885 km/hr)

How much does a Boeing 747 cost?

A Boeing 747 has a price range of 228 to 297 million dollars.

How does a plane land?

In landing, an aircraft's speed is reduced and a predictable descent angle is established, the vertex being the numbers on the runway. That is to say, you aim the aircraft at the numbers. This invariably requires a decrease in the throttle and engine rpm. Pilots may choose to deploy flaps at this point on aircraft equipped with flaps. Flaps change the aircraft's wing geometry, increasing lift, increasing drag, increasing angle of descent, and lowering stall speed. To land, the aircraft must transition from Vmin (minimum speed required to maintain flight) to a lower, non-flying speed (Vstall). Using flaps helps achieve this end. However, flaps are NOT necessary to land; they're just convenient. Flaps-off landings are made all the time.

So you descend to the point where you're just about going to nose it in, then you slowly pull back on the stick, adjusting the throttle if necessary, bleeding off airspeed, watching the ground coming up. It's at this point where you get into what is called "ground effect" where the air is caught between the bottom of the wing and the ground. By and large, it's your friend. You "mush" through the ground effect, continuing to incrementally lift the nose, keeping an eye on airspeed and altitude, while maintaining the aircraft's track in the center of the runway. On high crosswind days, this can be challenging. At the appropriate instant the plane both stalls, and touches down on the runway on the main landing gear. Back pressure on the stick is then released, and you taxi off the runway to parking, using rudder and differential braking.

What kind of force is needed to launch rocket ships?

Rocket ships are launched by a combination of forces, including the thrust generated by the rocket engines and the force needed to overcome gravity. The thrust from the rocket engines propels the rocket forward, while the force needed to overcome gravity allows the rocket to lift off the ground and enter into space.

How much cargo can a Boeing 747 carry?

The maximum cargo the freight version can carry is about 250,000 lbs.

What is Boeing?

As a major service provider to NASA, Boeing operates the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. The company also provides numerous military and commercial airline support services. Boeing provides products and support services to customers in 150 countries and is one of the largest U.S. exporters in terms of sales. -- Boeing.com

What is wing loading of an aircraft?

Wing Loading is the details of the distribution of pressure on an aircraft wing. An aircraft flys by producing Lift by its wings. This lift force depends on the shape of the wing that produces high pressure on the bottom of the wing and low pressure on the top. The center of the lift is usually at the 1/4 chord or 25% of the width of the wing as measure from the leading edge. The Wing Loading can be designed to produce different Lift and ensure the aircraft will be easy to trim for level flight.

How many passenger windows are on each side of a Boeing 737?

It depends on which 737 aircraft it is. The 737 aircraft has been made in many variations -100, -200 etc through to -900 all of which have a different number. Freighter conversions have no passenger windows

When did the first Boeing 727 fly?

Actually it went into service in February 1964.

It first took to the skies in 1963
