Boeing 777-200 Cruise Weight
Assuming the aircraft departed at MTOW (approx 245,000kg) and half way into say a 10 hour flight, what would be the approximate weight of the aircraft?
I know that there are so many variables that effect this, but its only for a University project so a rough answer is fine.
Thanks in advance,
G-AMMY

rough answer....
Per hour the B777-200 with GE engines burns about 7.000 KG, so half way you would have about -35 tonns. Equals 210.000 KG. The max landing weight is then 201.850 KG. Half way thru you need still to JETTISON some fuel when you want to land immidiatly.

For a MTOW of 245k, i preume that you are talking about the GE90-76 engine, we operate the -90 engine with a MTOW of 286k, I believe that the -92 engine has a MTOW of 295k.
