Fuel flow is 11400 lbs/hr @ 485Kts.

Damned if these guys haven't just reinvented the 707 with bigger fuel tanks!
707-320 1974 - 20P/120Y, with greater seat pitch than today's aircraft. Fuel flow was about 11400 lbs/hr @ 485 Kts.
I'm guessing those fuel flow figures for the 787 would be for the total of both engines and the 707 would be for each engine?
