What aircraft can lift the most weight?
Antonov An-225 Mriya
You know those planes that fly with a space shuttle on their backs? Well the Antonov An-225 Mriya is the biggest of them all. It holds the world record for the largest single-item payload, 418,834 pounds, as well as the record for total airlifted payload—559,577 pounds, or 280 tons.
What is the takeoff weight of a 747?
910,000 lb
The 747- 400ER and 747- 400ER Freighter both have a maximum takeoff weight of 910,000 lb (412,770 kg), which is 35,000 lb (15,785 kg) greater than that of the standard 747-400.
Whats bigger 747 or 777?
The 777 is both longer in length than the 747, as well as having a longer wingspan. No surprisingly, the 777 is shorter than the 747, however, it isn’t as short as you’d expect, it’s only three feet shorter.
How big is a 747 fuel tank?

How high can a 747 fly?
35,105 ft
A Boeing 747 has a cross height of 35,105 ft, while the Embraer climbs 190 to 39,370 ft. The Airbus A380 can even fly at 43,097 ft. At the bottom of this page, you will find an overview of the cruising altitudes of the most common aircraft at Schiphol.
Is Dreamliner bigger than 777?
The Boeing 777 series is generally larger than the 787 and thus can carry more passengers. However, it falls short of the larger 777-300 models by 66 passengers in a typical two-class configuration.
Is there a maximum takeoff weight for an airplane?
Maximum permissible takeoff weight or maximum allowed takeoff weight. In many circumstances an aircraft may not be permitted to take off at its MTOW.
What is the formula for maximum takeoff weight?
MTOW = Maximum take-off weight, MLW = Maximum landing weight, TOR = Take-off run (SL, ISA +15°, MTOW), LR = Landing run (SL, ISA+15°, MLW)
Which is the heaviest weight for takeoff and landing?
MTOW is the heaviest weight at which the aircraft has been shown to meet all the airworthiness requirements applicable to it. MTOW of an aircraft is fixed and does not vary with altitude, air temperature, or the length of the runway to be used for takeoff or landing.
What’s the difference between takeoff weight and gross takeoff weight?
The maximum takeoff weight ( MTOW) or maximum gross takeoff weight ( MGTOW) or maximum takeoff mass ( MTOM) of an aircraft is the maximum weight at which the pilot is allowed to attempt to take off, due to structural or other limits. The analogous term for rockets is gross lift-off mass, or GLOW.
