$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.

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.

I pick 30 minutes at Mach 7

How long do you want to spend at Mach 7 relative to stopping and starting? Because that could be a lot of G-force.

[-] supersquirrel@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago

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!

[-] Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Just use the speed-force and you can get to your destination in no time at all

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Using N-force, which is the little can of Nox under my seat

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.

$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.
