$5 for 30 minutes in the air. pick any speed you want. it doesn't matter. avgas and jet fuel don't compete with $5.
$3.60 for mogas at a couple places near me. Very high density altitude, well leaned out, in slow flight, you could get 27 minutes out of a 150 for $5
These guys are also apparently getting electricity for 2-4 cents per KWh, which is many times cheaper than most would be able to get it
You'd even have more useful load than this "jet" that can carry no passengers or cargo
You could also fly a glider. It'd be as useful as this thing
Wrong thread buddy. Maybe you need a refresher in navigation theory.
I pick 30 minutes at Mach 7, here's your $5 Canadian and please get out of my way, I do intend to board now.
How long do you want to spend at Mach 7 relative to stopping and starting? Because that could be a lot of G-force.
Meh just accelerate with F-force and then switch to G-force when you are up to speed and vice versa when slowing down, problem solved!
Just use the speed-force and you can get to your destination in no time at all
Using N-force, which is the little can of Nox under my seat
This ride is making have to P-force
I want people to find my face at the starting runway, and my skull in some field 7 miles away from where the plane landed.
Yes
i definitely won't be in your way. bring back pictures.
