Tous ces avions immobilisés sur les tarmacs des aéroports depuis des mois et des mois, ça fait mal au coeur ! Ya moins de pollution! Yipee!

(Per seat-km) An AC A220-300 with all 137 seats full burns approximately 1380 litres of fuel to go 540 km YUL-YYZ, or about 1.85 l/100 km per passenger; if those same 137 people all drove individually, even in 137 Priuses, they’d use around 3200 litres (4.4 lhk). But planes don’t always fly 100% full, especially not on shuttle routes like YUL-YYZ, and not everybody travels alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribb Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Another interesting option we may have in the future... Airlander is promoting another low carbon option for routes the distance of Montreal-Toronto. It would be interesting if this actually works as proposed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s always fun about the marketing nerds’ claims about aircraft fuel efficiency and “greenness” is that they fail to reveal just how dirty commercial aviation is overall. Sure, that CSeries is one marvel of technology and aeronautical engineering, but all the logistics involved in keeping it clean, mechanically sound, maintained, catered, loaded, boarded, de-iced, etc etc etc… Dorval airport is by far the most polluted and un-green “employment pole” in the metropolis, way worse even than Montréal-Est. 25 minutes ago, caribb said: Another interesting option we may have in the future...

Good point. What about fuel dumping? I can't imagine that's any good for the environment either but I'm curious if the effects are worse than the plane engines actually burning/consuming it?

SameGuy Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It is definitely worse, but more localized. That said, it doesn’t happen as often as one would think. Most modern aircraft can land with a fairly heavy fuel load. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
