  • The Boeing 747 is one of the most recognizable airplanes in the world. Its long range and high passenger capacity allowed airlines to open up new and previously unserved direct routes worldwide. Since production began in 1967, over 100 customers have purchased 1,574 examples, logging more than 118 million flight hours across almost 23 million flight cycles.
    The aircraft continues to fly on some of the longest routes in the world, carrying with it thousands of gallons of fuel to keep it aloft. But exactly how much fuel is this? Let’s find out!

    The 747 was the most beautiful plane to ever fly the skies ❤

      not "was", "Is" the most beautiful plane to fly in the skies! The jumbo will be flying well into the 2060s

    The 747 could really go anywhere. But more impressive than its fuel capacity, is the the engine power it has to take off and fly with all that fuel. Imagine lifting over 900,000 pounds of plane off the ground and climbing high and flying at over 500 mph. That is absolute brute force.

      it's lift from the wings. not pure engine power. 240,000 lbs of thrust total from the engines on the latest ones, first version had 160,000 lbs of thrust total

    You mentioned 747-8i and 747-8f differences.
    But no difference between 747-400 and 747-400ER?

      2 optional tanks in the cargo hold, each holding 3,240 gallons. Same for the ERF. Also not mentioned are the 100SR and 300SR, with lower capacity, 200B with more capacity, and others

    How does that equate to the weight of the fuel to the specific varient's weight?
    Also how does that compare to the rated range of each and compared to other long range aircraft

    The a380 holds over 70k gallons maybe more. That’s enough to fill the 53 foot vans on 2 standard 18 wheelers.
