Re: Saturday, September 30, 2006
The latest issue of "Airways" magazine has a big article on the conversion of the 747 and DC-10 into supertankers. there's some discussion about the economics - one 747 drop is the same volume as
at least 10 drops from smaller tankers, but that doesn't
mean they are interchangeable subject to the conversion ratio.
there's been a lot of work getting them certified, too.
interesting reading and amazingly prescient.
