Very impressive stats.

However, I wonder about a 747 producing 25% less energy than a fuel dragster. I looked at the wording and I do not see anything that qualifies this statement so I have to take it that a 747's 4 engines only produce the equivalent of 6000HP. That just doesn't seem correct. Some of the engineers out there should be able to convert thrust into HP and either confirm or refute this statement.
