Russian Crew Lifts 400-Ton Boeing into the Sky in 25 Seconds

Modern "tricked out" car accelerates to "hundreds" in 2-3 seconds. And how it takes off aircraft? Its weight is simply incomparable with the weight of any passenger car, not to mention its dimensions. Take a look at this giant: Boeing 747-400 is a double-deck airliner with four engines, which can accommodate up to 660 passengers. And its maximum takeoff weight is 396 tons!

And this 70 m long, 64,4 m wingspan colossus reaches a speed of 270 km/h (it can be a little more or less: it depends on the wind) for a successful takeoff. This Boeing model was last rolled out of the factory gates in 2009. This means that the plane, which takes off in just 25 seconds, is at least 15 years old. Although, in the video from the OKandrew Planespotting Channel, the aircraft looks like new.

For example: An-2 needs a hundred-meter strip of flat ground for takeoff, from which it takes off when gaining 105-110 km/h. According to technical specifications, Boeing 747 of this modification will need a runway of at least 3,5 km for takeoff. However, if we watch the video, it is obvious: it is unlikely that the machine ran these kilometers to soar into the sky. The acceleration was significantly shorter. However, you can see for yourself by watching the video with us!
