It was<BR/>the first wide-body long-haul jet, and it is still a<BR/>mainstay of intercontinental passenger travel.<BR/><BR/>A fully loaded 747 weighs more than 400 tons<BR/>(of which 40% is fuel), and its four engines<BR/>deliver about 280 million watts of power for<BR/>a thrust of about 1,100,000 Newtons (250,000<BR/>pounds). On intercontinental flights it can<BR/>travel for more than 12 hours nonstop.<BR/><BR/>Originally, the 747 was intended for cargo<BR/>flights, but when supersonic planes never<BR/>caught on, the 747 became the world's favorite<BR/>long-haul jet. A 747-400 (the latest model,<BR/>which has small winglets at the wing tips)<BR/>can carry as many as 524 people across<BR/>the planet at almost 90% of the speed of sound.Professor Howdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189934292678757335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437964542052755799.post-43047986580546855572007-06-18T11:03:00.000-03:002007-06-18T11:03:00.000-03:00"If there is anything in my thought or styleto com..."If there is anything in my thought or style<BR/>to commend , the credit is due my parents<BR/>for instilling in me an early love of the<BR/>Scriptures. If we abide by the principals<BR/>taught in the Bible, our country will go<BR/>on prospering and to prosper; but if we<BR/>and our posterity neglect its instructions<BR/>and authority, no man can tell how sudden<BR/>a catastrophe may overwhelm us and<BR/>bury all our glory in profound obscurity."<BR/>- - Daniel WebsterProfessor Howdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189934292678757335noreply@blogger.com
