747 has no particular meaning, it follows in Boeing's naming convention.
What are the controls of a Boeing 747?
There are numerous controls for the 747. If you have no experience behind the cockpit of any aircraft, I suggest you get a flight simulator. Or even better flight lessons.
Anyway, the main controls of a 747 are:
- The Yoke (The object that moves the aircraft, like a steering wheel!)
- Thrust control (When you increase the thrust of the aircraft, the more power vice-versa)
- The gauge panel (Here you can find the speed of the aircraft, the altimeter (height), Engine statistics, and much more!)
- The Radio (The radio is required if you intend to fly anywhere, the ATC *Air Traffic Control* keep you a safe distance from other aircrafts, supply the pilot with the latest weather, and give directions, they also give you emergency help if required in flight such as emergency landings ect.)
- The Landing Gear (Basically the Landing Gear is the retractable wheels underneath aircrafts, you require these to land, taxi and other ground purposes.)
There's many more features but there probably the main ones. There is other main ones such as the Aileron controller's but I don't want to go too detailed.

What is the aircraft weight class category of a Boeing 737?
Because wake turbulence is generally related to the weight of an aircraft, these categories are based on one of four weight categories:
light, medium, heavy, and super.
- H (Heavy) aircraft types of 136 000 kg (300 000 lb) or more;
- M (Medium) aircraft types less than 136 000 kg (300 000 lb) and more than 7 000 kg (15 500 lb); and
- L (Light) aircraft types of 7 000 kg (15 500 lb) or less.
- Super Heavy for Airbus A380-800 with a maximum take-off mass in the order of 560 000 kg. (in US airspace).
737-700 - Operating empty 38,147kg (84,100lb), max takeoff 60,330kg (133,000lb), HGW MTOW 70,080kg (154,500lb).
So, the 737-700 it's definitely a "Medium"
What is the weight category of a Boeing 737?
The Boeing 737 is categorized as a Large Aircraft. The next category up is called a Heavy Aircraft and that category starts at 300,000 pounds (maximum certificated gross takeoff weight). A special "Heavy" category starting around 255,000 pounds was created for the Boeing 757 due to it's propensity to generate wake turbulence.
What is the price of a Boeing 757?
The 757 is out of production but its prices in 2002 were: US$65 Million for the 757-200 and US$80 Million for the 757-300.
Usually the speed of a Boeing 747 reaches at about 525 to 600 miles per hour.
How does the anti skid work on a Boeing 737?
Similar devices on other planes work something like sanders on locomotives or trucks, they release some sort of ballast on the pavement-or runway, and may have serv-controls which make some adjustment on the wheel brakes. in fact the call for setting thesde things up was Anti-Skid--On (or armed) and four releases, the releases would click like a parking brake on a car or (click stops) on some cameras with a sort of auditory feedback. four clicks meant the system was armed- which suggests (Toggling off) Ballast, so to speak. That"s my guess. the devices are only used on slick pavements- marginal weather, not all landings.
aluminum, tin, composites, steel, and a variety of materials.
