seems like some serious logic errors here.... not all airplanes are the same size. no way all of them are giant planes, and they only put in enough fuel to make the flight they have planned.
seems like your comment has some wrong assumptions, i never said all planes were the the same size , this estimate is based on 777's. Do they just fill up fuel tanks based on flight paths? Well, what if the plane has to be rerouted, has a mechanical problem, needs to circle for hours - it think your assumption would cause many deaths.
well tons of cessnas and general aviation aircraft also... there is no way the numbers are as big as the video claims... still use plenty of fuel of course... just massively overstated.
And yes, they only put in the fuel needed for each flight. Yes they have regulations for how much reserve they need in case of problems, but they don't need it full unless its a longer flight. It would just make the plane needlessly heavy and airlines don't want to waste money on that.
my estimate is based on 2500 planes a day , 60k gallon each based on fuel capacity of a 777 - thats 150 million gallon per day - even if its off by 100 million, thats still 50 million gallons of gas, still huge numbers and your missing the entire point of the video, that we are not told the truth. You seem like you work for one of these companies, so youre probably biased.
A standard gallon of gasoline weighs approximately six pounds. 60,000 X 6 - 360,000 lbs, and some planes are claimed to hold more, So if your plane is capable of hauling that kinda weight, whether the plane tanks is 1/2 full or 1/3 full seems like a waste of time.
In airplanes there is a thing called power to thrust ratio. What is the power/weight ratio of an aircraft? The power/weight ratio can be expressed as follows: 0.5: 1 means that the thrust is half the weight, with this in mind, A plane with 360,000 lbs of weight needs 18 x 10,000 lb (or 44 kiloNewtons) rocket engines on it even to take off, whatever opinion u have - its clearly not based in science.
You're probably off by more than 100 million... but yeah I'm sure some busy airports could use a lot... the busiest ones have massive tanks holding 1.5M gallons each..... or pipelines ... some get deliveries via rail.
And the fact that they can carry a lot of weight still doesn't mean they don't have to burn a ton more fuel to do it... its just math. Its not that hard.
What exactly do you think they are lying about? Have you ever flown planes before? Maintained their engines? etc? It all adds up.
And even if you think just because a tank can hold 60k gallons and they fill to the tippy top... if you only take a puddle jump to the next state, you don't need to put anywhere near the full tank in before taking off again.

So youre a Major eh?
Too late bruh. We know.

yeah, gas. lol
