  1. Im not that smart


  2. depending on the model and weight, they burn around 7-11 tons per engine during takeoff.

  3. A simple search of your question gives the following info

    Boeing 767-300ER Cons : 4000 kg per hour

    Boeing 777-200ER Cons : 5500 KG per hour

    Boeing 757-300 Cons : 3000 KG pe hour

    Airbus 330-200 : 6000 kg PH

    Airbus 310-300 & 300-600R : 5000 kg PH

    Airbus 300B4-200 : 6000KG PH

    Airbus 340-200 & 300 : 6000kg ph

    Add that the the fact 777 uses 2 different types of engine depending on  customer choice. The load also influences the fuel burns. Then calculate how much time it takes to take-off including the the time it took to taxi , hold before release. With what I have seen , it takes on average 15-30 minutes the aircraft is permitted to take off , you can do the maths. a 777 pilot will be better person to answer more accurately.

  4. Contact Boeing or the tech support dept of any B777 operator.  Define the "takeoff" profile.  The answer you seek depends on several variables...A/C weight, air temp, runway elevation and others.

  5. depending on engine type (GE or PW or RR) and altitude of the airport

    the engines at full throttle will guzzle approximately 48000 lbs of jet fuel an hour for each engine (777 has two)

    with a little conversion it becomes:

    21772.4 kg per hour for each engine at full throttle

    takeoff power is applied for a maximum of around 3 minutes so

    1088.62 kg of fuel will be used for a 3 minute takeoff thrust setting for each engine  ( total: 2177.24 kg)

  6. As with any aircraft it's related to the take-off weight and other variables; you would need to specify the start and end point of the measurement.

    Another way of asking the question might be, how many kg of fuel does a 777 use with the engines at take-off power - not normally for more than a minute or two.
