How long of a runway does a 737 need to take off?
9,700 feet
This is especially true for the critical aircraft – the Boeing 737-900 which requires a landing length of 6,800 feet under wet conditions and a takeoff length of 9,700 feet under maximum takeoff weight.
How much runway does an A320 take off?
The smallest variant of the Airbus A320, the A318, only needs 1,780 m (5,840 ft).
How fast does a 737 go to take off?
roughly 160 to 180 MPH
Most commercial planes take off at roughly 160 to 180 MPH, while landings take place at approximately 150 to 165 MPH.
How much runway does a 737 800 need?
According to the performance chart for the Boeing 737-800, at sea level under ISA conditions with a takeoff weight of 140,000lbs, the runway length requirement is 1510 metres.
Why is the 737 landing gear so short?
However, the reason the Classic and NG have their engines mounted in front of the wing is that the 737 originally used the much slimmer JT8D engine, allowing it to use a very short landing gear to make it sit lower on the ground and ease the process of loading baggage and other cargo by hand.
What is takeoff speed for A320?
| Aircraft | Takeoff Weight | Takeoff Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Airbus A320 | 155,000 lb 70,305 kg | 170 mph 275 km/h 150 kts |
| Airbus A340 | 571,000 lb 259,000 kg | 180 mph 290 km/h 155 kts |
| Boeing 747 | 800,000 lb 362,870 kg | 180 mph 290 km/h 155 kts |
| Concorde | 400,000 lb 181,435 kg | 225 mph 360 km/h 195 kts |
How fast does a 737-800 go to takeoff?
At V2, approximately 150 to 155 KIAS, the aircraft has reached its takeoff safety speed. This is the minimum safe flying speed if an engine fails. Hold this speed until you get a positive rate of climb.
How far can a 737 fly on a full tank?
The 737-800 has a maximum fuel capacity of 6,875 gallons, which it carries in fuel tanks in its wings, as seen here, and in a fuel tank located underneath the passenger cabin’s midsection. Fully loaded, the jet can fly up to 3,159 miles without refueling.
Is A320 safer than 737?
The Boeing 737 has an accident rate of approximately 1 in 16 million flight hours whilst the A320 is very slightly lower at 1 in 14 million flight hours. To put it in perspective, you are far more likely to be involved in a car crash than a plane crash.
