  1. The throttle is the control for the amount of fuel fed to each engine.  There is a throttle lever for each engine.

    "Throttle" actually means "to strangle;" the image is of cutting off the fuel supply.

    Takeoff speeds for commercial airplanes vary for the given airplane and conditions.  The C-118 (cargo version of a DC-6) I used to fly rotates at about 115 SMPH.  A Boeing 747 rotates at 150 to 180 knots, depending on load.


  2. A small to medium commercial aircraft needs to achieve above 130 knots to take off usually.Larger ones such as a 747 need to get above 160 kts. ofcourse wind direction and speed do affect the situation but these are the rough speeds required.

  3. depends on the weight of the aircraft. A heavy B747 does have a take off speed of about 190 knots.

  4. throttle, the throttle increases or decreases the power output of the engine, thereby increasing or decreasing the general speed of the aircraft.

    and approx speed for a commercial aircraft depends on the aircraft and weather conditions, upwind/downwind takeoff, and other conditions.

  5. Throttle is basically the gas pedal for an aircraft but its a lever.

    average take off speed is about 150 knots.

  6. 65mph
