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.
