Exact, and besides an article I had made on this subject earned me a lot of criticism: https://www.econologie.com/avions-et-co2 ... s-715.html
However, with a little hindsight, there is still an important fact to take into account: an airplane travels in a few hours the annual distance of an average car ... in other words, we rarely drive 5000 km in one go ...Flytox wrote:In fact it is not yet quite expensive this Kerosene.

Not at all, all the econologists should agree with your words (all the greens also in fact ...). Would you also be a fan of Jancovici?
I do not agree, I am not an engineer, having a level of study not at the top, I can hardly argue my words; but the friction of the air making it possible to float the enormous weight of an airplane must slow down enormously, therefore much more energy lost than a car. the calculations are bo
but, you need all the parameters, and just data! otherwise the result is very far from the real. How is kerosene consumption assessed? you don't have real consumption !! and if we talked about the drops of full kerosene in case of early returns, there, the balance sheet increased! and yes, if in the event of an unexpected stop, you had to empty 50 l of petrol on the road however this is the usual procedure, the best place to judge this here would still be our dear ANDRE
