How heavy is a plane? The wider and bigger the plane, the heavier it is. The wide body aircraft, such as the Boeing 747 (183,520 kg) and Airbus A330 (120,000 kg), are heavier than the narrow body aircraft Boeing 737 (41,413 kg), Airbus A320 (42,400 kg) and Embraer 175 (21,890 kg).
The length increase required the overwing exits of the A320 to be enlarged and repositioned in front of and behind the wings. The centre fuselage and undercarriage were reinforced to accommodate the increase in maximum takeoff weight of 9,600 kg (21,200 lb), taking it to 83,000 kg (183,000 lb).
With the Airbus A380 weighing in fully loaded at 1,265,000 pounds, you might think stopping it within a reasonable distance after landing would require a Phalanx of Heavy-duty thrust reversers.
The short to medium-range A320 is the most popular version with a range of about 3,300 nautical miles or 6,150 kilometers. It has a wingspan of 35.8 meters (with wing fins called sharklets), a length of 37.57 meters and a maximum payload of 16.6 tonnes, according to Airbus.
Airbus A320 has a length of 37.57 m/123 ft 3 inches. Boeing 737-800 is 39.5m/ 129 ft 7 inches long.
Boeing 777 The “Triple Seven” flies at Mach 0.84, or 644 mph and can hold up to 426 passengers.

How Much Does a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet Weigh? The maximum weight of a Boeing 747-400 Jumbo Jet is 910,000 lbs or 412,000 KGS. This is equivalent of 325 double decker buses! It would reach this weight when it is full of passengers and has a lot of fuel onboard.
What does “Heavy” really mean? The FAA requires any aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight in excess of 300,000lbs to use the term “heavy.” This includes Boeing 747, 767, 777, and 787 aircraft.

Pilots have to meet the Air Force’s height, weight and physical conditioning requirements. They must be 64 to 77 inches tall when standing, and 34 to 40 inches tall when sitting. They must weigh 160 to 231 pounds, depending on height.
That’s about 350 miles. Barely gets to cruise altitude and and then spins down RPM and starts descending. According to the source mentioned below, the shortest flight operated by the A320 family is between two small islands in the north atlantic between: Lanzarote Airport (Spain) > Fuerteventura Airport (Spain)
The Aircraft is narrower than an Airbus A320, Thus the seating arrangement in the A220 is with twin seats on left and 3 seats on the right ( respective to the point of view from tail to head of aircraft) while the A320 has the seating arrangement of 3 seats on either side.

There are a number of different types of jet fighters, at least one bomber, and experimental aircraft that are capable of speeds in excess of 1000 MPH, but most not for very long nor very far. We have made ping pong ball go 1100 MPH ! Rockets sleds go 6,453 mph !
The world’s fastest manned plane is the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. … The Tupolev has held that record since 1960, even though another prop plane, the XF-84H Thunderscreech, was designed to fly at about 1,000 mph (1,609 kph).
The Boeing 747 is a big, wide-body airliner. It has four engines on the wings, and the wings are swept at 37.5 degrees, so the 747 can fly very fast. The sweep also means that the 747 does not need any special hangars.

What is this? The A350-900 weighs 536,000 pounds, or 268 tons. The A350 is the first Airbus craft to construct both its fuselage and wing structures out of carbon fiber reinforced polymer.
Thus, the term “heavy” (unlike light, medium and large) is included by heavy-class aircraft in radio transmissions around airports during take-off and landing, incorporated into the call sign, to warn other aircraft that they should leave additional separation to avoid this wake turbulence.
The A380 is the latest and biggest plane from Airbus while the 747 has been Boeing’s flagship for quite some time. … The Airbus A380 has a wingspan that is 15m longer to that of the 747. It is also about 50% heavier than the 747 even when empty.
This is 183,214 to 216,847 liters of fuel or about 180 to 213 tonnes. Over the years Boeing has increased the maximum takeoff weight of 747 variants to allow the aircraft to carry more fuel and have a longer range.
