747 fuel use: https://www.quora.com/How-much-fuel-does-a-Boeing-747-burn-per-second
A 10-hour flight uses about 36,000 gallons including climb, cruise, and landing
135,000 Btu/gallon = 10.45 kWh/l
36000 gallon = 136274.82l = 1424071 kWh
So 4 engines = 142407 kWh,
1 engine = 35601 kWh = 35.6 MWh (or 35.6 MW average power usage)
50.000 data center computers = 10 MW average power usage (including cooling).
