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.
even being off say 100 million gallons, and lets conservatively . say 50 million gallons a day - thats 2-3 ship oil tankers full of crude or if by rail 44 gallons of gas = 1 barrrel of oil, and a train tanker can hold about 700 barrels of oil, so 50million/44 - 1,136, 353 barrels/day and that dived by 700 = 1600 train tankers which = 16x mile long trains , every day, just for airport gas. Highly unlikely.
The other problem is we have the thrust to weight ratio of the plane, modern jet engines dont have enough thrust to account for the weight of the gas tanks.
Basically youre screwed anyway you critically look at the issue and really u need blind faith to believe the numbers youre told and i question everything. William Casey, former director of the CIA said he would know his work is complete when everything you believe is wrong. Clearly, this falls into national interests,and the CIA doesnt like it when you think
You are looking at way less than 50 million a day... I think london heathrow uses around 800k gallons in a day for example (3 million liters)... they have a whole pipeline system that delivers it. The Thames - Mersey Pipeline System supplies the West London system which is dedicated to the onward transportation of aviation fuel to London's main airports. It comprises a large storage terminal and pump station at Buncefield, supplying Heathrow airport and a further section linking Longford to the Walton Gatwick system.
I dunno why you keep massively over-estimating the amount of consumption... you keep calculating as if every plane holds 60k gallons and then uses it all on every trip.... and I dunno where you even get that figure... even a 747 doesn't hold that much.
if one 777 takes 50k+ gallons to fill up, your saying was of the busiest airport in London only fills up 16 planes. Sure 800k gallons is more reasonable, but that would be supporting my claim - because planes use very little gas I said my math is based one 2500 plane departures from Ohare per day , = 150 million gallons a day, lets say its 1/3rd that or even 1/15th , that must mean planes use far less fuel than they claim. Your own data is in fact supporting my claim , while trying to deny it at the same time, incredible.

yeah, gas. lol
