Watch The Enormous Boeing 747 Vertical Takeoff 


The Boeing 747 was a ground-breaking advancement in aviation with its design and manufacturing. By providing fewer aircraft with more carrying capacity, the need to relieve congestion at airports dealing with the influx of a larger traveling public was to be addressed. A plane that could carry twice as much as the current workhorses, the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC8, was required. This is how the Jumbo was produced.

 

High By-Pass TurboFan engines, which could provide much greater thrust at a noticeably lower fuel burn rate than the pure jets in use at the time, allowed for the construction of such a massive aircraft.

 

Safety was given a lot of consideration when designing the four-engine Boeing 747. For redundant systems like hydraulics, a backup system is available in the event that the primary system malfunctions. In the event that one control surface fails, the aircraft may still fly thanks to its dual control surfaces. Each of the four bogies that made up the main landing gear had four wheels. In addition to distributing the weight of the aircraft more equally, this enables the 747 to make an emergency landing on two bogies that are in opposition to one another.

 

When compared to other aircraft in use at the time of the 747’s initial introduction, it was enormous in every sense. For instance, it took six million parts, of which half are fasteners, 147,000 pounds (66,150 kg) of high-strength aluminum, 171 miles (274 km) of wiring, and 5 miles (8 km) of tubing to construct it.
