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.
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.
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.
Yep, and birds are not real too I'm sure.
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.
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.
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.
Sadly a lot of the software engineering crowd has fallen VERY far from the old freedom loving days when the "internet" was a new thing... lots of clowns running around with purple hair on fire about "muh facism" and so on... its really puzzling and not sure how it got here from where it started.
Linux was originally a thing (along with other free unixes) because of fighting corporate fascism... I guess those days are over. The kids these days don't know the big corps they work for are working against them.
He's still a tyrant... the fact that he is calling out some of the other tyrants over stuff and exposing certain truths about his "opposition" really is kinda nice, but that doesn't mean Russia is a model to be followed at all.
No they aren’t and you just totally dodged what I said. Because you know it’s true if you understand how PCR works. The sample is destroyed and broken down into random chains and then copies of the chains are made until there is enough to detect…. And with the variant tests it’s even worse. They combine many samples together and then “survey” the “sample pool”.
You’re incorrect. If they have isolated it then where are the samples? All they do is mix up random bits of material and pick out markers. Once you run the chain reaction there is no way to know where any of the pieces came from.
They are making it up from random markers. You do not know what you are talking about. Show me where on that site they have isolated samples.
What are they “sequencing”? Go ahead and try to find out lol.
That link is nothing but word salad. Look up how the tests work and you will see there is no way they can claim to identify variants with it.
10TB drives are cheap and plentiful
Software RAID also pretty easy, lots of motherboards these days even do hardware RAID.
We are able to observe effects we cannot explain so it’s a way to describe the unknown... but imo it’s probably wrong since it’s pretty much a guess that makes some math work better.
Makes no sense. Expensive supercomputer would have safety shutoff
Yeah, it used to be such a great place. Its amazing how quickly it fell.
the old reddit sub was a shell of what it once was. so happy i now how almost no reason to ever return to reddit.
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.
