  • How much fuel does a 747 burn per hour?

    The four engines of the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet burn approximately 10 to 11 tonnes of fuel an hour when in the cruise.
    This equates to roughly 1 gallon (approximately 4 litres) of fuel every second.
    It can carry a maximum of 238,604 liters of fuel and it has a range of about 7,790 nautical miles.

  • How far can a 747 fly with a full tank of fuel?

    How long can a 747 fly without refueling? Commercial airliners, such as the Boeing 747 and the Airbus A380, have a range of around 8,000 to 8,500 nautical miles.
    This means that they can fly for up to 20 hours without refueling, allowing them to travel long distances across the globe.

  • Is a Boeing 747 more fuel efficient than a car?

    A Boeing 747 filled with passengers to only 75 percent capacity is more fuel-efficient than an automobile with a driver and one passenger in terms of fuel burn per passenger mile.
    Hard to believe, isn't it?

  • Is a Boeing 747 more fuel efficient than a car?

    Also known as the Queen of the Skies, the 747 boasts a maximum fuel capacity of 63,000 gallons with slight variations between models.
    With today's fuel prices, it costs about $450,000 to fill up a Boeing 747, depending on your market.
