They all are “Going Nowhere”, quickly, and the faster the jet, the sooner they get to Nowhere.
“Carbon release is carbon release and it estimated that Drake’s plane spewed 4.5 tons on the hop to Hamilton.”
Somehow, the chemistry eludes me. 1 gallon of Jet A produces 21.095 pounds CO2. 100 gallons=2109.5 pounds of CO2. That’s for full throttle all the way, including taxi (can we say “High-speed taxi”, boys and girls?) and hold times.
So where does this “4.5 tons on the hop to Hamilton.” come from?
