Can you elaborate how having more legroom and less doors makes a aircraft go faster?
- bdowling 5y agoAn airplane with four doors instead of eight would weigh less so the plane may fly a little faster. Legroom shouldn't affect the speed.
- dapids 5y agoSo will an airplane with 5% less luggage or fuel. Go figure.
- kube-system 5y agoI don’t think weight affects cruise speeds a whole lot, as I understand. At least, not enough to make your flight measurably shorter. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/47369/how-is-the-cruise-speed-of-an-aircraft-chosen https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/47369/how-is-th...
- bluGill 5y agoNo, the limit of airplane speed is the speed of sound, as you get very close to that aerodynamics changes greatly. While you can make a plane go faster it is rarely done.
