We welcome your comments below, is there more we could be showing or are there topics you would like to see? Thank you. Hi Richard, you pose a very interesting question and I am trying to track that down for you now.
I will come back with an answer as soon as I can. Best regards Peter. Sorry George, but it is not able to be downloaded in PDF. Please enjoy the online version. What is the seat height of the boeing Not the height of the backrest, the height of the actual seat from the ground to the top of the seat where your bum sits? Good question Jeanne. I must admit I have not been able to find the answer to that one. You have plenty of information about pitch, which is the distance between seats one behind the other and width from armrest to armrest.
Seats are manufactured by various suppliers, even for the same aircraft type, as it is the airline customer who chooses these. Hi Espen, Thank you for stopping by. As much as we would like to cover everything, at this stage we will concentrate on passenger aircraft.
Having said that, I know we have delved a little bit into the Boeing 8F freighter but this more out of respect for the Queen of the Skies transitioning from a mainstay airliner into a modern freighter. Hi, is there a way to find out what the height is from the floor of the cabin to the ground when the Boeing is on the ground? That is a great question, particularly if one was required to vacate the aircraft in an emergency. You can see why air slides are a necessity as the height above the ground is significant.
So in answer to your question, there are several things to consider. The other thing to consider is whether the aircraft is fully laden or empty. Just like your car, if it is full it will ride further down on its suspension and therefore be lower to the ground. Door sill height above ground for Boeing Fully laden: Fore most door — 4. Good question. The answer is yes, all those things are possible.
The question revolves more around whether the airline who buys the Boeing wants to provide those services to their passengers. An airliner is seen by the airline simply as a tool, one that will enable them to make money by carrying passengers and freight. When an airline buys an airliner, they already have worked out what kind of routes they will fly it on and what market they are targeting.
What difference does that make? Well, if you used your to fly a short commuter route you might decide that you will just order a high density seating bare bones cabin configuration. The aircraft is in the air a short time so who cares about movies etc. If the flies on longer routes, then offering movies, internet and personal device charging points becomes much more important.
Business travellers will demand it and will soon choose the airline that provides these facilities. So as you can see, there is no yes or no answer.
It comes down to what the airline feels they need to offer to be competitive. I hope that helps. Do they have movies? Thank you for stopping by. When you say 10 seat economy, I am assuming that you mean 10 across. The configuration on the Air France ERs is which means 3 seats together on each window side and 4 across the middle making The seat pitch is 32 inches which is the distance between the seats front to back whilst the width of the seats is 17 inches between arm rests.
Each seat has its own personal entertainment system screen so that movies and other video entertainment can be enjoyed. Just aware that the box driving these systems is located under the window seats, so the could be less storage space under those seats. We have booked a flight at a boeing and we are in line 35 seat a,b,c.
Is it possible for the seats to lay back or not? The range is 17,km, carrying passengers. An additional fuel tank installed in the rear cargo bay brings the fuel capacity to ,l. The aircraft will also be fitted with new raked wingtip extensions. In November , the LR Worldliner set a world distance record for a commercial aircraft non-stop flight — 21,km 11,nm from Hong Kong to London Heathrow.
The airline received its fifth LR aircraft in September The Boeing is a stretched version of the , seating to passengers in a typical three class seating arrangement or passengers in a single economy class arrangement. The is the latest derivative of the family and the first aircraft was delivered to Cathay Pacific in May The ER extended range was launched in February and first flight took place in February The higher fuel capacity, compared to the , provided a range of 13,km with passengers.
Subsequent improvements to engine efficiency and design changes to reduce drag and weight have increased the range to 14,km 7,nm. The aircraft is powered by a new, more powerful GEB engine rated at kN ,lb. New highly tapered raked wingtip extensions have been fitted to reduce take-off field length, climb performance and fuel efficiency.
By March , aircraft had been delivered. In May , Boeing launched the F freighter with an order for five aircraft plus three options from Air France. The freighter can carry a revenue payload of t ,lb up to 9,km 4,nm.
Boeing rolled out the first F in May and the first flight was in July The first freighter was delivered to Air France in February TAAG placed an order for two aircraft in October Cathay Pacific placed an order for eight freighters and four ER aircraft in August Thai Airways International confirmed the order for six ER aircraft the same month.
Singapore Airlines announced its plan to purchase the ER aircraft in August Hong Kong Airlines announced its plan in March to procure six Fs, 30 s and two aircraft. Lufthansa selected the Boeing F in March for its air freight operations. Boeing also received an order for six ER aircraft from the Qatar airways in June The two-pilot flight deck is fitted with a five-screen electronic flight information system with five, 8in mm colour liquid crystal displays, including two primary flight displays, two navigation displays and an engine indication and crew alerting system EICAS display.
Fortunately, no one was injured. Commercial airlines around the world grounded their s, pending investigation. Boeing recommended the suspension of operations of the 69 in-service and 59 in-storage s using Pratt and Whitney engines until further notice.
The airline will use those planes to fly between San Francisco and Taipei, Taiwan, in March instead of its grounded s, according to United spokesman Charlie Hobart. American Airlines has 67 Boeing s in its fleet. The planes were used for international flying before the pandemic and are now frequently used for flights within the USA, spokesman Sarah Jantz said. Longtail Aviation Flight , a cargo plane, scattered small metal parts over Meerssen, causing damage and injuring a woman shortly after takeoff Saturday.
The troubled United flight is reminiscent of one from February , in which a United Boeing from San Francisco lost its engine cover and began to shake about an hour from Honolulu. The and both offer improvements in terms of emissions and efficiency. The decision to build a twin-engine instead of a four-engine widebody like the A has paid off in spades.
In terms of sales, Boeing has received orders for 2, aircraft, delivering 1, of those. The more recent X has received orders, lower than its predecessor, but a number could grow. Comparatively, the Airbus A only received orders in total, prompting Airbus to design new aircraft such as the A and A The Boeing will be in aircraft fleets for decades to come, either as passenger variants or freighters. With so many variants and further development, the is undeniably the most successful twin-engine plane today.
