I need to know the combined length of wires and cables on the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental Jet - have searched to no avail - here is the full quiz question:-

Flying at a groundspeed of 300 knots, how long would it take a Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental to cover a distance equal to the combined length of wires and cables inside it?

Thanks for any help

This may help........

"To power those and other systems, 133 miles (214 km) of wires snake through the airplane. If one these wires is not installed correctly, a system may not function properly."

It's up to you now.......
About 22 minutes!!...............I think??

300 knots = 345mph

MASS1961 thanks!

I agree with your conversion (300 kt = 345.45 mph) which by my math works out at 23 mins 7 seconds - got a feeling this one will be a tiebreaker!

Once again many thanks
Happy to help, good luck!
