How does the 747 lift off the ground?
A 747 airplane lifts off the ground due to the Bernoulli principle. Aircraft have wings that have special shapes called airfoils.
How much runway does a fully loaded 747 need to take off?
The approx. 10,700 feet Wikipedia figure is for a fully loaded 747 at sea-level. The lighter the plane, the less runway it needs. The 7,500-foot runway at TNCM allows a takeoff at 84\% of the maximum takeoff weight.
At what speed does a fighter jet take-off?
The speeds needed for takeoff are relative to the motion of the air (indicated airspeed). A headwind will reduce the ground speed needed for takeoff, as there is a greater flow of air over the wings. Typical takeoff air speeds for jetliners are in the range of 240–285 km/h (130–154 kn; 149–177 mph).
How fast does a jumbo jet go to take off?
A fully loaded Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo Jet’ on a normal long haul flight would take off at a speed of around 160 knots which is 184 mph.
What happens if plane is too heavy?
If the plane is too heavily loaded, then you will be unable to take off. (You might be able to get a meter or two above the ground due to a phenomenon called “ground effect”, but you could not climb any higher.)
How fast does a jumbo jet take off?
A fully loaded Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo Jet’ on a normal long haul flight would take off at a speed of around 160 knots which is 184 mph. The calculated take-off speeds vary depending on environmental conditions, runway length and weight.
What is the take off speed of a Boeing 747?
What speed does a Boeing 747 take off at? A fully loaded Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo Jet’ on a normal long haul flight would take off at a speed of around 160 knots which is 184 mph. The calculated take-off speeds vary depending on environmental conditions, runway length and weight. What speed does a Boeing 747 land at?
What happens to an airplane during takeoff?
Normally during takeoff, an airplane flies into the wind, and air movement over the wings lifts the aircraft up into the sky. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1
How do Airlines de-rate thrust for take-off?
Most airlines and aircraft have a facility to de-rate thrust (or use assumed temperatures) for take-off. This occurs on runways where the aircraft has extra performance in hand e.g. the aircraft does not need the full length of the runway to take-off.
