The 747 kicked its butt. The 747 goes about 600 mph top whack. Supersonic means greater than 768 mph so the 747 ain't a supersonic airliner. You might have a military plane faster but you haven't got a passenger airliner faster. The 747 (on a bad day) moves more passenger-miles per hour on less than 1/4 the lbs of fuel per passenger mile than the concorde could dream of on it's best day You could say more or less the same comparing a ford fiesta and a rolls royce I think you'll find that a Rolls will move more passenger-miles per hour than a Ford Fiesta. ;-) But more passenger miles per hour per GALLON? Perhaps, but i somehow doubt it, having actually driven and fed both. . . . . . |
