Does anyone know what speed of take off the 747-400 achieves please? I do know that it differs a bit due to weather conditions but since I've been on them so many times I was getting rather interested.
speed depends upon air density.
Maybe things have changed more than I realized in the 29 years since I last had my mitts on a yoke. I've never heard that term.FredGarvin said:Don't forget the nasty, three H's Danger...
The takeoff speed of a Boeing 747-400 varies depending on factors such as weight, altitude, and temperature, but it generally ranges from 160-180 knots (184-207 mph) for a fully loaded aircraft.
The takeoff speed is determined by the aircraft's weight, altitude, temperature, and other factors such as runway length and wind conditions. It is calculated by the pilot using performance charts provided by the aircraft manufacturer.
The takeoff speed is important because it ensures that the aircraft has enough speed and lift to safely become airborne. It is a critical factor in the aircraft's ability to successfully take off and climb to its desired altitude.
The takeoff speed of a Boeing 747-400 is relatively high compared to other commercial aircraft due to its size and weight. It is also higher than the takeoff speed of smaller private or regional jets.
Yes, external factors such as runway length, wind conditions, and weight can affect the takeoff speed of a Boeing 747-400. Pilots must take these factors into consideration when calculating the takeoff speed for a safe and successful takeoff.
