Do new Airplanes still need that much Jet Fuel? Are there 150 million gallons of fuel under every Airport? Each day thats a 1.5 megaton bomb! (www.youtube.com)

Lol, no you just ignored everything I said.

I explained why 800k is more realistic... you now say 50k+ gallons for a 777, but thats still wrong even if it started out empty (they don't and a 777 does not hold that much).... then you say 2500 departures a day from o'hare? No... nowhere near that much.... that would be 104 per hour even if they went 24/7 which they don't.... and there are only 8 runways at o'hare, and they don't use them all at once depending on wind, etc.

And where the hell do you get off thinking that every plane is comparable in size to a 777 or a 747 or whatever? a lot of corporate jets only hold like 2k maybe 3k gallons and lots are smaller that that ... especially little cessna and stuff... maybe only 40 or 50 gallons.

i dont ignore, my reply was specifically why your anger is unwarranted and ridiculous. i have multiple sources that say a 777 tank capacity is up to 50k gallons of gas depending on model. I also have multiple sources saying 2500 commercial departures a day, i doubt many Cessna are using Ohare, do you have a source that claims that - id like to see it . Sure maybe a few private jets use that, but i dont think they count in that #. Also this number is pre Covid - departures might be down alot now.

777 carries 31k gallons max... if you also put tanks in the cargo hold you can get more but likely not common... and like i've said repeatedly but still not accounted for, you do not use 31k (or whatever the capacity of a particular plane is) per flight... they don't land empty... you only fill a fraction of the tank at a time.

Yes plenty of small planes land at large airports and they all factor into the total. Just watch the traffic.... lots of regional jets, corp jets.... and smaller general aviation... helicopters too.

If it were 2500... that would mean about 138 per hour in the 18 hours or so per day that they actually have departures... 2.31 per minute or one every 25ish seconds for 18 hours straight. Sorry but thats not plausible.... just stand outside an airport and watch... they don't go that often.

there are different models off 777, my sources claim with one its fuel tanks are nearer 50k, you know there lots of smaller tanks (or so they claim) so not just the main fuselage tank, In my opinion -yes its probably closer to 3 k, to have giant pools of liquid on an airplane does seem kinda silly.

any data on the type of plane that leaves Ohare would be helpful, otherwise its just speculation, and my speculation is > your speculation since its my content. if you're so preturbed, feel free to make a debunk video about how my speculation is worse than your speculation.

oh and btw - which Airline Company do you work for? Hopefully not Jet Blue or did i nail it?

i don't work for any airline (private pilots license though) ... the number of runways and stuff is basic info... you can look it up in many places about o'hare...

It doesn't matter which airport though, i'm just talking logistics... you can only clear so many flights to take off... the number of seconds in a day is fixed. your claim of 2500 does not make a lot of sense.... not enough time for anyone to also land... etc.. maybe one a couple days with perfect weather they could get near that with 8 runways... but most likely its gotta be more like 1500ish departures.

You still are not addressing how long the flights are and how much fuel each plain ACTUALLY needs since it obviously isn't an empty fill to 100% each time.
