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.

Rotation Gone Wrong: The Critical Error Behind LATAM’s Milan Tail Strike

Fear of Landing

This transition of lifting off is called rotation. The reference for take-off in the Flight Management System showed: Flaps 5° Thrust 56° V 1 : 145 kt V R : 149 kt V 2 : 156 kt V-speeds are used to define the relative speeds which are important to the operation of the aircraft.
