MTOW of 747-400D model is incorrect

Post by olopa » Mon Oct 19, 2009 7:53 pm

Hello friends,

The figures of the Boeing 747-400D provides that the Maximum TakeOff Weight is 378,182 kilos.

In reality, the Boeing 747-400D has a Maximum TakeOff Weight of 276.692 kilos, incredible but true. At first I thought it was a mistake, but looking at the data found that Boeing was right.

Another amazing fact is that with MZFW reaches only 1000nm. :shock:

The truth is that this is not so big difference with respect to the normal version.

Here is a PDF with the tables of weights of all versions of the 747-400, Boeing. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/airpor ... 74sec2.pdf

Greetings.

The only difference between the 747-400D is the different weights (to allow more cycles on the airframe) and the removal of the winglets. In truth, the 747-400D's can be use internationally (and are occasionally), however they rarely do as the payload is highly restricted (due to the lower weight restrictions).

I have verified the numbers as you suggested and I have updated the data.
