America’s largest aircraft is the Boeing 747-8, which is equipped with powerful engines and can carry tons of cargo and passengers over great distances.

However, an interesting thing that many people don’t know is the huge amount of рoweг this plane needs to take off.

According to aviation experts, during takeoff, the Boeing 747-8 uses up to 120 MW (mega-watt) of eɩeсtгісіtу. This is equivalent to powering more than 1000 typical homes for a short period of time.

Part of the reason for the need to use large amounts of рoweг to take off is due to the jet engine of the plane. With great weight and maximum рoweг, the Boeing 747-8’s jet engine needs to use a huge amount of fuel to generate enough thrust for the plane to take off.

In addition, to ensure safety during takeoff, the aircraft needs to use a large enough amount of eɩeсtгісіtу so that the avionics, security systems, beacons and other systems can operate fully. enough and stable.

However, the Boeing 747-8 does not always use the maximum amount of рoweг to take off. If the airport has enough slope and runway length, planes can use jet engines to take off without using the highest amount of рoweг.
