Is the emirates 777 bigger than the A380?

No. The Airbus A380 is double decker so it is much bigger.

Boeing 747 or 767?

I'd say Boeing 767 because then you'd have to do shorter flights you'd be less tired.

Are Boeing 747 used mostly for international flights?

Mostly international, yes. However some companies do run 747's domestically. JAL for example uses high density 747's on domestic routes.

How many miles per gallon of jet fuel does a Boeing 757 passenger jet get?

let's ask this question: what is the per head mpg of a Boeing 737 or Airbus 310?

What is the name of a plane other than a helicopter which can take off and land vertically?

Answer: AV-8 Harrier II jet is one. V-22 Osprey is a Tilt-rotor craft that flies in both Helicopter mode and aircraft mode by titling its engines/rotors. It just went operational last year.

What type of aircraft were used during Vietnam to carry airmail?

Airmail to the troops was considered essential, just as it was to British troops in mini-wars and hot spots around the world. It came by whatever means were expedient. Once in Oman, I remember the mailbag arriving in a converted drop tank on a Royal Navy Gannet sub-hunter.

Why is petrol so cheap in Turkmenistan?

It is cheap because government decides higher price would be unbearable for the population. For 1$ you can buy 40 liters now days. People make on average 50-150 US dollars/month. So you figure, can they afford to pay more.

But I wonder how did you get interested in this. Are you from Turkmenistan.

Why are flights so cheap?

They are cheap because they are free from inter - national border charges.

What is aeronautical engineering?

Aeronautical Engineering is a study of airplane design and technology. For a college degree in Engineering, the various colleges may use a different term for their degree program in this field. The courses required for the degree may also vary from one college to another and they may emphasize different types of specialities that branch off into exploring space to study of plasma fluid flow. Another term for a study in this field is Aerospace Engineering.

Since Aeronautical Engineering can cover a wide variety of studies. Since aircraft have a unique method of construction out of light-weight material, aircraft structures is one branch of study. This can also have another specialty called dynamic structures or aerodynamics of structures. Other areas of study are propulsion, fluid dynamics, hypersonic flight.

it means about astronaut engineering.

What is B737 aircraft critical point?

To carry passengers to their destination. It had a double deck to allow maximum passengers to fit. Top speed of about 535mph. hope it helps

How much does a plane cost?

My airplane is a 1965 citabria 7eca And would cost today about 40,000 dollar's. Citabria is the word airbatic spelled backwards.

What did William E. Boeing do as his job?

William E. Boeing was an American aviation pioneer who founded the Boeing Company. He was an Industrialist.

Hippodrome seating chart?

I can't answer the question exactly, except to say that the Hippodrome had three seating levels, the orchestra, a balcony of almost the same size and a second balcony above that. At each end of the balcony, I believe, were sets of boxes.

Here's a way to find out more: Go to eBay and look for Hippodrome. Usually, there are two or three programs from the 1920s on sale. I would guess you could find a seating chart, or a photograph or both there.

How does bypass produce thrust in turbofan engine?

There are two types of turbofan engines- high bypass and low bypass engines.

About 80 percent of the total engine thrust from a high bypass turbofan engine is produced by the bypass of air around the core. These types of engines generally have a large fan in the front to pull in large volumes of air to produce such a powerful jet stream out the back. The front fan is driven by the compression, combustion, and expulsion of the hot gases out the back of the core. About 20 percent of the air pulled in from the front fan is used to drive the core.

High bypass turbofan engines are used on almost all commercial jet aircraft because they burn less fuel.

A low bypass engine is exactly the opposite. The core is used to drive a smaller fan in the front which only about 20 percent of the total volume of air pulled in is bypassed. The remaining 80 percent of the air being drawn into the engines core is compressed, combusted, and the hot gasses expelled out the back to produce the necessary thrust to propel a jet forward.

Low bypass turbofan engines are found on jets that require supersonic speeds. These engines are incredibly powerful but at the cost of a high fuel burn rate.

What is the commonly used database for website designing?

It will Probably store information related to email accounts of customers registered and the advertisement agencies which use that site for their publicity , some daily news and ... answers to frq's

But if you're asking for specific databases used, then common ones you'll find in use for small web applications are MySQL or PostGreSQL

Why did Boeing experience its first loss?

The backlog of orders became a nightmare as Boeing missed commitments to customers, and the company lost $178 million in 1997, its first annual loss in 50 years.

How much fuel does a plane use to take off c17'global master?

Not enough information. Are you referring to a Cessna, a B-747, a fighter plane, an An-224?

American Military Aircraft C-17 Globemaster and the answer is 30,000lbs.

All depending on the payload -- source load master for 25 years.

What is gross thrust in a turbine engine verses net thrust?

Hi there,

Gross thrust is the reaction of the momentum of the jet stream produced in a gas turbine engine.If you don't know net thrust,let me tell you.Net thrust is the resultant force acting on the aircraft.Net thrust=Gross thrust-Momentum(Intake)Drag.Don't go deep in momentum drag.When the aircraft with turbine engine,is moving...Gross Thrust is more than net thrust.and when the engine is at the rest,gross thrust=net thrust.Hope you got the answer.....Good luck in your future.

Gross thrust, means the thrust when there is not forward momentum of the jet.

However, the jet has always the forward speed. When we consider this, we can calculate the net thrust as the gross thrust minus the forward momentum.

How many ping pong balls fit in a 747?

Assuming a diameter of 40mm and assuming hexagonal closest packed, 625 balls would fit in a cubic foot.

Boeing's website lists passenger volume for 747-400 as 31,285 plus cargo. 5536+835 = 37656 cubic feet

An estimate would be the number of balls in a cubic foot times volume = 23.5 million balls.

The volume of the fuel tanks would also need to be taken into consideration, as well as any other "empty" spaces. Maximum fuel capacity is 53,985 U.S. gal or 204,349 L. This adds another 7216.516 cubic feet. That's an additional 4,510,322 balls, which total 28 million ping pong balls.
