Airplane Usage Statistics: Still Flying...According to the U.S government, the consumption of the fuel usage in Airplanes is nearly 2 percent of the liquid fuel. This means that, nearly 440000 barrels of liquid fuel and oil are consumed per day and consequently, the U.S government uses up to 160 million barrels of fuel and oil per year. This will cast approximately around 10 billion dollars at price levels of fuel. A general airplane usage statistics reveals that, nearly 53 percent of the liquid fuel and oil has been consumed by the Air Force. Among this, around 75 percent of the mobility type liquid fuel was used by the air craft and air planes. The jet planes are using nearly 58 percent of the jet fuels. Jet fuels are the type of mobility fuel. The air plane usage statistics took by California, USA reveals that the unpowered air plane obtains nearly 50,700 feet attitude which is 15,453 meters and that is considered to be the highest altitude in an unpowered airplane. This highest altitude has been obtained by the pilot named Steve Fossett and the co-pilot named Einar. This statistics also states that, these two pilots broke the previous performance by 1662 feet, which comes around 507 meters. Another air plane statistics shows that, the highest record during the year 1986 was nearly 14938 meters, which comes around 49009 feet. This record was obtained by pilots in California. A general air plane statistics reported on the fuel usage as, during the year 2006 the ABX Air Inc obtained the total of 10 million gallons which cost around 21 billion dollars at the average price of 1.94 per gallon. Similarly, the Aerodynamics Inc consumes around 96,352 gallons of fuel. This totally cost about 238 million dollars at the average price of 2.48 per gallon of fuel. Another air plane usage statistics shows that, the Alaska Airlines Inc consumes for about 29 billion gallons of the fuel at the cost of 55 billion dollars. This comes to an average of 1.89 per gallon. In America, the air plane usage statistics carried out studies on the air plane traffic queries. This statistics shows that, during 2006, the 40 mile air carries had nearly 79 departures and travel over 6,971 miles with around 55 to 58 passengers. The payload shows a weight of 94,800 lbs, the mail alone weighing 11,260lbs. Similarly, the Midwest Inc carrier air plane runs over 44,878 miles with 38 departures and 2040 passengers. The payload for this travel comes around 1 crore lbs with no freight charges. Another air plane usage statistics on the traffic query reveals that, the American Air Planes Inc travels with 43 thousand passengers. This travels along 279,800 miles with 1890 departures. The airplane usage statistic here, showed that the payload for this air plane is nearly 370 thousands of lbs and freight comes around 10 thousand lbs. Pressurized airplanes are most likely to use turbine engine. This is because it is much more efficient and capable of touching the highest altitude of nearly 50 thousand meters. This airplane also operates at more than 40 thousand feet above sea level. |
