One of the most commonly used engines on the Boeing 747 is the General Electric CF6-80C2B1F turbofan engine. This high-bypass turbofan engine can deliver a maximum takeoff thrust of 56,700 pounds (lbf) or approximately 56,700 horsepower (hp).
To put this into perspective, a single CF6-80C2B1F engine on a Boeing 747 can generate power equivalent to that of approximately 4,500 average-sized cars. The combined thrust of all four engines working together enables the Boeing 747 to achieve its enormous takeoff weight and provide sufficient power for flight.
It's worth noting that other variants of the Boeing 747 may use different engine types or upgraded versions of the same engine, resulting in slightly varying horsepower figures. However, the power output of a single engine on a Boeing 747 typically falls within a range of 50,000 to 60,000 horsepower.
