What is thrust by weight of Boeing 747?

The thrust generated by the engines of a Boeing 747 is typically around 56,000 to 63,000 pounds-force per engine. Each Boeing 747 aircraft is powered by four engines, so the total thrust produced by all engines combined is roughly 224,000 to 252,000 pounds-force.


How much thrust is produced by a Boeing 747?

This information should be available on the Boeing website or other avaition-related websites. For a quick answer, I will related my experiences from 1970's. Boeing certified the B747-200 to operate with General Electric CF6-50 engines. During take-off power, each GE engine could produce 56,000 lbs of thrust per enginer: or 224,000 lbs for a few minutes. Now, the larger B747-400 a/c have more powerful engines. Currently each engine on a Boeing 747-400 can generate a maximum of about 63,300 lbs of thrust. Accordingly, since this aircraft has four engines it can produce total thrust of about 253,000 lbs.
