I'm still disappointed that I never got a chance to speak to you when going to Cambridge

I doubt it'll be long before you're speaking to me from the right hand seat of a 737/A320. We have our whole careers ahead of us, plenty of time

Well I timed this today. It took approx 40secs for us to get to about 140knots, 160mph, and thats a 61 ton A319.

How about if you put it on a giant treadmill?

Dont! I remember that thread. The noobnes of that thread was unbeleivable.

OK, I'll do it properly now that I'm awake lol

v=u+ at

v=160 mph= ((160 *1600)/3600)m/s = 71.1m/s
u=0
t=40

71.1=0+40a
a=1.777 m/s^2

mavity= 9.81m/s^2

a=0.181g
