The statement that “planes don’t fly over the Pacific Ocean” is a misconception. In reality, planes do fly over the Pacific Ocean, but there are specific reasons and flight routes that influence how they navigate this vast expanse.

One major reason for flight routing over the Pacific Ocean is the need for efficient and safe travel between various continents, particularly between North America and Asia, Australia, and other Pacific nations. Long-haul flights often pass over or near the Pacific Ocean because it’s the most direct route. For example, flights from the United States to Japan, China, or other parts of Asia frequently traverse parts of the Pacific. Similarly, flights from the U.S. to Australia also cross over large parts of the Pacific…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>> READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Airplanes are massive machines, and the amount of fuel they consume per second is quite significant, particularly when considering commercial airliners that travel long distances. The fuel consumption of an aircraft depends on various factors, such as the type of aircraft, the weight of the plane, the distance being traveled, the altitude, and the speed at which the plane is flying.

For instance, a typical commercial jet like the Boeing 747, one of the largest passenger planes in the world, consumes about 5 gallons (18.9 liters) of fuel per minute. If we break this down further to a per-second rate, the plane consumes approximately 0.08 gallons (0.3 liters) per second. This is equivalent to the amount of fuel consumed by a car over a much longer period, but for a plane, it’s just a small fraction of the fuel required for its massive engines to operate…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>> READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
