The physics of mobility: an interesting comparison of road, rail, and air travel

Aerotime

His innovative approach integrates infrastructure and movement processes into holistic CO2 and energy comparisons. Energy is always required for acceleration, to overcome air drag, as well as rolling and friction resistance of wheels on road and rail, and for “lifting work”, i.e., working against gravity. Differently.

2700 Miles in a Cherokee Six

AeroSavvy

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. As altitude increases, air molecules spread out, resulting in less power and lift. The approach and taxi are time compressed; the landing is normal speed.

Calculated: How fast Santa flies to deliver all his presents

Aerotime

Exceeding the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) will risk the aircraft not generating sufficient lift to get off the ground. If every child asked Santa for the Stitch plush this Christmas, the payload carried would be around 2.4 While we dont know the MTOW of Santas sleigh, we can hazard a guess at the weight of the toys on board.
