A Boeing 747-8 passenger airliner, for instance, has a maximum takeoff weight of 487.5 tons (442 metric tons), the force with which the weighty plane is drawn toward the Earth. Weight's opposing force is lift, which holds an airplane in the air. This feat is accomplished through the ...
Pretty much any Extra Legroom Seats on any of the aircraft though we would try to avoid the windowless seat rows on the Boeing 777. To check out Singapore Airlines seating maps in more detailclick here Which are the best Singapore Airlines Premium Economy Seats?
They may have seen the B-2, but Boeing's flying wing will be much larger than that. There may also be some fears about a plane that carries 800 passengers and what that might mean in emergency situations. The flying wing has the potential to be more than just a commercial passenger ...
In an ideal world, you’ll find similar materials tested with the same method, but there’s no good way to compare an RC plane to a Boeing 747. Now that we have a clear understanding of the basics, let’s look into each material property in detail and talk about benchmarks for ...
Inflight Wi-Fi is a feat of technology that is constantly improving. Here are some things you might not know about it.
Airport lounges can be a welcome haven for the airline passenger and the flying experience starts very much on the ground. Access to an exclusive lounge can separate you away from the crowds at a busy airport terminal and offer plush, all-inclusive facilities. ...
The Boeing 767 and 777 can be hard to distinguish from a distance. They both have the typical features of Boeing’s style, such as their windows and tails. The 767 is much shorter (the most common 767-300 variant is 55 meters long, compared to almost 64 meters for the shortest 777-20...
Can you get Wi-Fi on a plane over the ocean? Airplanes can provide Wi-Fi when flying over oceans if they are supplied by a satellite operating system. This is where signals from ground units are beamed to satellites in orbit, which then relay these signals to an airplane even when travel...
a simple calculation we would find that in order to generate the required lift for a typical small airplane, the distance over the top of the wing must be about 50% longer than under the bottom. Figure 1 shows what such an airfoil would look like. Now, imagine what a Boeing 747 wing ...
