Each one of those engines is kicking out 50,000lbft of thrust at full power. Same as a JT9D (which I had to crawl into today.. dirty dirty..)

But the most epic turbofan engine ever:

RR Trent 8104

Trent 8104/8115

Originally designed for the 777-200LR and 777-300ER (both part of the 777X project), this engine comes in two thrust ratings, 104,000 lbf (460 kN) and 114,000 lbf (510 kN), and has been tested up to 117,000 lbf (520 kN). As Boeing's thrust requirements increased, Rolls-Royce began developing the 115,000 lbf (510 kN) 8115 which was to be an enlarged version of the 8104, with a 3.05 m (120 in) fan and a core scaled up 2.5 percent from the 8104. It featured swept-back fan blades and a host of new technologies such as contra-rotating spools.

The 8115 was never built, as Boeing signed a contract with General Electric to be the sole supplier of engines for the 777X aircraft, owing to GEs willingness to risk-share on the airframe part of the project, and sales of the aircraft to GECAS.

In other words ladies.. DO NOT STAND BEHIND ENGINE!

Hours.. several hours. It takes 30mins to fuel a small CRJ or regional jet.

Still it probably gets horrible fuel usage..

yup i live at the beginning of the line up for a military air base, so i have C17's and other cargo planes fling over all day and night, and about once a week 3-5 B52's fly over all in a role pretty cool to watch, and a ton of fighter jets

then a few miles south east of me theres a small private air port and directly east of me straight out my back yard there is another air port but that one is mostly fedex planes flying in and out but

that one is really cool though because thats where they have the air shows so the days i'm not actually there i can see them flying when up on the balcony
