of course you know this

JBut jst in case readers do not know go to http://www.boeing.com/commercial/air...777_2lr3er.pdf

I am a bit shocked at Overrun's figures though. The cruise portion route cannot be shorter than 5950nm in still air in my estimation. With the slighest headwind at 8kts that makes a cruise ground speed of 467kts.

I won't trouble to go on with the rest of the calculations but that is a pretty mean route when it goes windy.

352 tonnes weight Overrun?
