Re: here's info about acceleration, from a friend of mine
Hey guys- while these "statistics" may sound cool, at least one of them is not even close to accurate... as per Boeing the range of thrust of the engines used on a 747-400 is from 56,750 to 58,000 pounds of thrust for each of the four engines. While there is no true correlation between the amount of thrust generated and horsepower, its pretty much accepted that even the lowest thrust engine combo on a 747 generates in excess of 80,000 horsepower... WAY more than a dragster.
