Airbus Planning Open Rotor Engine For A320 Replacement

Chris H:

An apt observation, thanks.

The huge question is whether or not voters will wake up to the con job that humans are causing runaway warming of earth’s climate, which is not and cannot happen.

Accurate temperature measurements like weather balloons, satellite sensors, and tide gages show only slow warming since the end of the cool era that drove Viking farmers out of southwest Greenland. (The Medieval Warm Period was warmer than today climate was stable.)

The ‘saturation effect’ of overlap of spectra of carbon dioxide and dihydrogen monoxide limits rise to a small amount most of which has already been realized. (Changes in water vapour show there is not a positive feedback mechanism.)

Whereas the well known effect of orbit changes - ‘Milankovich Cycles’ - varies climate.

So the only benefit is lower operating cost but at what price in aircraft capital cost and safety?
