A bit of trivia on the 747-400.
Check out the last fact...wouldn't want to get too close.
a.. A Qantas Boeing 747 undertakes it's major service every 26,000 flying
hours (about every 4-5 years). The process takes around 56,000 man-hours
(around 6 weeks). The cost of the service in parts and labor alone is $4.5 -
$6 million. The cost of purchasing a brand new 747-400 is around AUD$350
million.
b.. The Boeing 747-400 is the world's largest passenger jet liner at 70m
long with a 60m-wing span. It's tail stands 19.5m tall and it holds 427
passengers in a typical "tri-class" configuration. With a fuel capacity of
230,000 litres of jet fuel, the aircraft has a range of 13,340km enabling
flights between Sydney and San Francisco non-stop. The maximum take-off
weight of the aircraft is 396,890kg. Each engine produces 27,240kg thrust
(approx. 55,000hp) on take-off, which produces enough suction into the
intake to ingest an adult male from 30 metres.
