The engine would be scraping the runway as the 747 took off. :) Edit: The fan of a 777 engine is 10in wider than a 747-8. According to a chart from https://avi

Edit: The fan of a 777 engine is 10in wider than a 747-8. According to a chart from https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/21375/what-is-the-height-of-the-boeing-747-8-landing-gear https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/21375/what-is-t..., the ground clearance is 3-5 inches. Which is a bit short of 10 inches. :)
- throw9away6 3y agoIt’s not 3” of ground clearance. You can get a person comfortably to lay down under any engine. There is easily over a foot. Plus you could overservice the strut. Plus if you really needed to you could fly without the cowlings. Still most practical would be just to pull the inlet to save space.
