In the best case, you might have had chalk added to whiten your bread. In worse cases, alum..

Or they will be, and we will have an even bigger problem..

(I took Budapest, for the sake of generality, from [1] it is clear that there are significant variations in Hungary)

You can see that the mean temperatures from April to October are about 2 degrees higher in Budapest than in Stuttgart, which is really significant. To give you an idea, that's a lot closer to Avignon (France) [2], which is a Mediterranean climate, than to Stuttgart which is considered oceanic.

I also remember people saying that they could get 2 harvests of figs a year in Moravia (CZ), which you will not get in Germany. Moravia is not Hungary, but it's getting there, climate-wise, and it illustrates nicely the difference a few degrees (mean) make.

- 13000 * 9.81 * 1000 = 127.5 MJ, to reach your altitude

- 0.5 * 13000 * (77)^2 = 38.5 MJ, to accelerate to your climbing speed.

Total: 127 + 38.5 = 166 MJ, or about 46.11 kWh

For a go around, re-accelerating from 1.3 * stall speed (85 knots / 44 m/s) to your climbing speed, and going to your missed approach altitude of 1000 m, you will need:

- 13000 * 9.81 * 1000 = 127.5 MJ, to reach your altitude

- 0.5 * 13000 * (77^2 - 44^2) = 26 MJ to accelerate back to your climbing speed.

Total: 127 + 26 = 153 MJ, or about 42.5 kWh

That's an interesting roundabout way of saying that they were not following the certification requirements before, and that it now takes much longer for them to actually conform to the rules they should have followed in the first place.

> The 777-9 just happened to be on the edge of certification when they came along.

Yeah, killing 346 passengers due to extreme negligence will do that to you.. These pesky FAA requirements standing in the way of business..

And more generally, door blow-outs during pressurization tests and engine pylons failing are maybe not things that can be blamed on certification rigorousness..

First country in the list: Australia

Just two little niggles:

- I feel like I should be able to fly over a runway without crashing in a landing/taking-off airplane. The vertical separation would allow for that.

- It would be nice to have an (optional?) zoom-out level, to have a bit more space for routing.

But a lovely little game, thanks again.

With OP postulating that it is to enable corruption, and a sub-reply affirming that it is therefore the trait of a country in decay, bringing in Serbia as a counter-example is hilarious.

Serbia ranks 116th in the corruption perception index, Germany 10th. (Lower is better)

Nice disconnect from reality.

90k is more than twice the median income in Germany, and by extension, more than twice the median income of most European countries.

As the poster wrote:

which implies that he does, in fact, speak German. The movers did not, though.

Yes, but please think of the Telekom and Vodafone et al shareholders..

Even if those companies did, eventually, relent to implement it that way, they would possibly find a way to link it to a predatory 36 month subscription or some other ridiculous terms to keep their rent-seeking.

In the meantime, the only option I have in my neck of the woods, is DSL at 4Mbits/s down - 0.5 up. At around 40 euro per month, I believe? Or Starlink..

In high-subsonic cases, it normally points to slightly better aerodynamics in the areas flirting with transonic regimes. The name of the game at those speeds is to try to delay the onset of drag-inducing shocks. These shocks will typically first appear on the wing, or in an area heavily influenced by the wing.

In the case of the -300, with the extended bubble coming down at about half the wing root chord, it is possible that the bubble downflow / low-pressure area positively influenced the flow over the wing to slightly delay the transonic onset and further effects.

Pulling the bubble further aft made things worse again.

Mm. No, I would expect the flow to be turbulent well before that.

> and no additional low pressure transition (just one moved back, obviously).

Careful where you put your low pressure zones, the wing aerodynamics are critical and sensitive! :-) (see explanation above)

But to make things even more interesting, the 747- 300/400/8 cargo all use the short bubble. :-)
