What is the thrust rating of the 777?
What is the thrust rating of the 777? Considering that a Boeing 777-300 with GE 90-115 engines has a thrust rating of 115,000 pounds per side, the resulting asymmetric thrust from a failure is a force to be reckoned with.
What plane has the most thrust?
The most powerful aircraft in terms of thrust is currently the Antonov An-225 Mriya, a Ukrainian cargo plane. The An-225's engines generate a total of 332,750 pounds of thrust, making it the most powerful aircraft in the world. T/W ratio depends on: altitude.
What is the cruise thrust of a 777?
With a cruise TSFC value of 0.520 for the 777's GE90-85B2, the thrust can be anywhere between 18,300 and 8,600 lbf, per engine.
How much thrust does a 777x engine produce?
Thrust: 110,000lbf (490kN) Front fan diameter: 134 inches (3.4 meters) Fan blades: 16 (carbon fiber composite)
What Mach does a 747 cruise at?
The Boeing 747 is a large, wide-body (two-aisle) airliner with four wing-mounted engines. Its wings have a high sweep angle of 37.5° for a fast, efficient cruise speed of Mach 0.84 to 0.88, depending on the variant.
Why is the Boeing 787 so special?
The 787 was designed to be the first production airliner with the fuselage comprising one-piece composite barrel sections instead of the multiple aluminum sheets and some 50,000 fasteners used on existing aircraft. Boeing selected two new engines to power the 787, the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 and General Electric GEnx.
Why is the Boeing 777 so special?
The jetliner is recognizable for its large-diameter turbofan engines, six wheels on each main landing gear, fully circular fuselage cross-section, and a blade-shaped tail cone. The 777 became the first Boeing airliner to use fly-by-wire controls and to apply a composite structure in the tailplanes.
