It has enough thrust on one engine to take off empty. But, to expand on my edit, it requires both a test pilot and way more runway than the airport has. Edit:

It has enough thrust on one engine to take off empty. But, to expand on my edit, it requires both a test pilot and way more runway than the airport has.
Edit: Numbers
Empty operating weight: 134,800 kg (297,300 lb)
Maximum Takeoff Weight(MTOW):
247,200 kg (545,000 lb)
The empty operating weight includes everything needed to fly (including crew) minus useable fuel. So the only additional weight need is fuel.
- cameldrv 3y agoThe plane in question is a -200LR which has the GE90-115B engines at 115 klbs of thrust. The numbers on that variant are OEW 145t and MTOW of 347t.
- kayodelycaon 3y agoCool! Thanks for checking my numbers. :)
- inferiorhuman 3y agoit requires both a test pilot No. Keep in mind most commercial operators are going to run derated thrust (a.k.a. flex thrust) for takeoffs to save on maintenance. Engine failure after V1 is regularly practiced. The big problem will be directional stability on the way V2. https://www.infinidim.org/b777-engine-failure-on-takeoff-efato https://www.infinidim.org/b777-engine-failure-on-takeoff-efa... https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=747649 https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=747649
