What is the weight of fuel on Boeing 747?
The accepted average weight of Jet A fuel is 6.84 pounds per gallon based on specific gravity (but varies based on temperature, additives, etc.) The Boeing 747-400ER can carry more than 63,500 gallons of fuel which is about 434,340 pounds fuel load weight. Information provided by Jet Advisors
What can you do if one of your front teeth is longer than the other?
Have the long tooth filed down by a dentist.
Is a Boeing 747 capable of travelling 48 billion light years?
No, a Boeing 747 cannot travel 48 billion light years. This distance is far beyond the scale of what any current human-made technology can achieve. The universe is only estimated to be around 93 billion light years in diameter, which puts into perspective the vastness of the distance you mentioned.
Why did Boeing lose McDonnell Douglas's defense contracts?
when Boeing was caught illegally using proprietary information taken from Raytheon Company to win a contract to build antimissile warheads, the contract was taken from Boeing and given to Raytheon.
What altitude does a Boeing 737 fly?
A Boeing 737 Maximum Altitude ranges from 35,000 feet (-100 and -200 series) to 41,000 feet (-600, -700, -800, -900ER).
Airplanes do not usually fly at their maximum capable altitude, they tend to fly a couple of thousand feet below that, low 30's.
The Boeing 753 refers to a Boeing 757-300 series. Boeing categorise their aircraft in terms of age where the 100, 200 and 300 series are the initial releases and the 600, 700 and 800 are more modern aircraft.

777-200 136kts 156mph
777-200ER 139kts 160mph
777-200LR 140kts 161mph
777-300 149kts 171mph
777/300ER 149kts 171mph
The actual touchdown speed depends on the load of the plane. If it is heavily loaded with passengers and fuel it will land faster than if it is almost empty and had few passengers.
What is roll rate in reference to aircraft?
Roll, pitch, and yaw - flight dynamics. See the below link for more info.
What is the cruising speed and altitude of a 747?
Maximum speed for a 747 is 0.92 mach. Normal cruise is between 0.82 and 0.85 mach at altitudes up to 45,100 feet. meaning about 200 mph give or take.
What maximum passengers on c17?
188 with passenger pallets. 102 when configured for air dropping troops. 54 with a cargo load and an additional 48 when the centerline seats are installed.
How many passengers can a Boeing 757 seat?
The 757-200 is the definitive version and forms the majority of 757s sold. It shares its fuselage cross section with the smaller 727 and 737. Boeing positioned the plane above the 737 and as an eventual replacement for the 727. At first it was meant to be a little shorter in length. In the end it was positioned not only above the 737, but also the 727.
This variant can carry 228 passengers in a single class. However, with a seat pitch of 29" it can carry a maximum of 234 passengers. This configuration is also the FAA limit for the aircraft due to emergency exit rules.
