I just went out to the living room and turned the stove down so it smokes a little bit extra.

“At typical takeoff power settings, a 747 will burn something over 12,000 gal of jet fuel per hour. This is based on 40,000 lb thrust in each of 4 engines, and a specific consumption of 0.5 lb(fuel)per hour per lb of thrust and a fuel density of 6.50 lb/gal.

The actual number will be affected by many things including the weight of the aircraft, runway length, altitude, headwind component, etc, so this is only a ballpark #.......
