The fuel tank is located in the fuselage just behind the fire-wall, and has a capacity of 12 gallons.

There are more Cubs flying today than Piper Aircraft ever built. The J-3 Cub is considered a light sport airplane because it meets the definition of one as laid out in the regulations, despite being a design that is over 70 years old! So, the idea of a light weight aircraft construction isn’t new!

Finally, in 1955, the Super Cub got the engine that it really deserved: a 150-HP Lycoming O-320-A2A, which it kept until Piper dropped it from the line in 1994. The Super Cub remained essentially unchanged throughout its production run. All Piper Super Cubs carry the PA-18 designation.

The story of Cub Yellow Piper originally used nitrate dope for the J3. Some time after the [Second World War], when the supply of nitrate dope was dwindling, bids went out from Piper for a paint manufacturer to come up with a pigmented yellow butyrate dope that would as closely match the nitrate shade as possible.

Besides the safety angle, taking off over gross weight could land you in trouble with the FAA even if nothing goes wrong, you can lose your ticket for that. If there was an incident your insurance may not cover damage or litigation costs.

There is no set weight limit for passengers on commercial flights in the U.S., but some airlines, most notably Southwest, require customers who cannot fit in one seat to book a second. Call the airline you wish to fly and ask about passenger size regulations.

A: The Boeing 737-800 is an example of an average sized airplane. It has a maximum takeoff weight of about 80,000 kg (175,000 lbs). This includes the weight of the plane, which is about 41,000 kg (90,000 lbs), and the weight of the fuel which is about 18,000 kg (40,000 lbs).

30,000 lbs.

An average airplane weighs around 90,000 pounds (41,000 kilos) empty weight, which means the weight of the airplane when its fuel tanks are empty and there are no people or luggage on board.

The 747-400ERF has a maximum takeoff weight of 910,000 pounds (412,769 kg) and a maximum payload of 248,600 pounds (112,760 kg). It offers cargo airlines the choice of either adding 22,000 pounds (10,000 kg) more payload than other 747-400 freighter variants, or adding 525 nautical miles (972 km) to the maximum range.

Boeing is ending the 747 production line in 2022 while Airbus just delivered its last A380 fuselage to the assembly line in France in June. High operating costs and efficient twin-engine alternatives marred orders for both planes in the 2010s as the manufacturers promised jets that could fly further for cheaper.

“The new B777X-9 is the world’s most fuel-efficient long-haul aircraft and will bring many benefits to British Airways’ fleet. It’s the ideal replacement for the Boeing 747 and its size and range will be an excellent fit for the airline’s existing network.

Boeing themselves has touted the 777x as the new replacement aircraft for the aging 747….Boeing 777x vs Boeing 747.

On a normal day, at any given moment, FlightRadar24 would be tracking anywhere between 8,000 to 20,000 planes mid-flight, which is a lot more than it’s following now.
