Re: SAS A333 double daily BRU-BHX

It's got to use about 3000 liters of fuel each way, versus about 100 liters in a truck. So about 30 times as much.

Re: OSL to get new cargo terminal for shipping of seafood

While I realize that cargo carriers want to carry as much goods on both arriving and departing flights to Norway, it really is a shame that all those tons of fish need to be trucked to OSL.

The average speed was certainly not 1240,8 km/h. The picture shows the groundspeed at 670 kts at one point en route, yes, but that does not make the average speed 670 kts. The ignorance of journalists once again shines through... To find the average speed you need to find the distance travelled and ...

RE: Best-Selling High-Bypass Turbofan?

Of the three engines in the opening post, I strongly believe the CF6 is the best- selling.

RE: Best-Selling High-Bypass Turbofan?

In my humble opinion, it has to be the GE CF6.
As seen on 747s, 767s, the DC-10, MD-11, A300, A310, A330, albeit in different versions.

RE: UA870 Diverted To HNL

AFAIK, the pmUA 77Es were upgraded to the 656KLbs MTOW, highest available for the 77E, and same as the GE pmCO 77Es.
The GE90 might have slightly better fuel burn than the PW4090, but the pmUA birds should do the job just fine.
