What’s with the plane leaning on its nose? (Comes into view at about the 1 minute mark.)

Looks like every 20.5 seconds it costs $100 of fuel
BaltimoreBadger23 on
So basically seats 19b and 19c cover takeoff…

Is the KG consumption real? Seems a little exaggerated. Source: I know nothing about fuel consumption
Filthiest_Tleilaxu on
Cheaper than i expected if i’m being honest
No_Prompt5092 on
That’s a full tank of fuel of my car every 15 seconds. I drive 700km on that….

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350 (above) are top contenders for fuel efficiency in the large twin-aisle category, while the Embraer E195-E2 leads among single-aisle aircraft.

Would like to know the comparison at cruising at 30 000 feet.

I wonder if an aircraft carrier launch system would be cost effective? I can believe it takes a few hundred bucks just to get the thing off of the ground!

What?! Jet fuel is cheaper than $1 per kilogram? They measured fuel by kilograms?
Ready-Procedure-3814 on
*sips on soggy paper straw.
Minute-Form-2816 on
So it costs about 10k an hour in fuel. That’s wild
Desertraven247 on
So those stats are for both engines combined?

A kg of water is also 1 liter of water.Â
Using this rough conversion because we know fuel is lighter than water lets say 1 kg of fuel is 1 liter of fuel.Â
This video is saying jet fuel costs less than $1 per liter??? Thats less than gasoline.
Edit: wow jet fuel is less than gasoline. That’s dumb lol
TonAMGT4 on
So that cost about 90 cents per passenger…
Note that it burns a lot less fuel when flying at 41,000 ft

But how can companies like Ryanair or Wizzair afford ti sell 20$ tickets?
Bal-lax on
Is there one for an A380?
NotSure___ on
Jet fuel costs less then 1$ for 1L ???
Bright-Struggle-3237 on
I thought it would be more…much more.

Given the weight of passengers and luggage seems quite cheap
FrankSarcasm on
I feel that is good value for money.
Ok-Material-1272 on
So a dollar per passenger
Planty-Mc-Plantface on
When you look at the kilogrammes consumed at the end that’s only the total of three average sized UK adult females. Not really that much compared to older turboprop engines. Considering that even X2 there’s around 200 people on board.

Kg seems about right, but extremely cheap fuel tho.
North_6 on
I learned 2 things. Far, far more fuel mass is consumed than I would have guessed, it also costs astronomically less per KG than I would have guessed.
DesperateTeaCake on
So about half of the fuel surcharge on one BA ticket…
Noxious89123 on
I could quite happily sit here and watch this for all stages of flight. Fascinating!
Give me a little screen with ALL the data.

Just imagine how insane the amount of oil is that we have on earth. This is one flight. There are tens of thousands of flights per day. Millions per year. All that requires oil. And aviation is just a tiny fraction of the total amount of oil used in the world. Cars, generators… many other appliances. For 7 billion people. 365 days per year. Ongoing for 150 or so years now. Its completely mindboggling.

No wonder they make us pay for our tickets
El-Gumbino on
Fuel used – 506 L in that minute
Cost per litre – $0.57
Two engines burnt ~410 kgs of fuel during takeoffÂ
At cruise alt they’ll burn 90-100 kg/min, which is $3,800-$4,300 per hour in fuel, compared to $17,400 per hour during take-off.Â
sarcassholes on
I wonder how much the consumption decreases as it gets higher in altitude and goes into cruise control
MiliTerry on
Okay, this was the only reason why I wasn’t buying an a350. I wasn’t sure what the fuel cost was going to be. This is acceptable

Now make a video for a fighter jet with afterburners…those are gonna be some wallstreetbets numbers
FreshVersion1838 on
Would like to see this plotted on a graph over time
RampageGamer on
I would like to see something like rate of consumption.
shakazoulu on
That’s….very cheap?!
magnet598 on
We should use big slingshots to save on startup costs
JackpineSavage74 on
If they would have put 300kg less fuel in it, it would have taken off right away, big petroleum doesn’t want you to know this trick!

Still cheaper than a Range Rover.
Cool, my checked bags paid for that.
