    You know, those jet engines are LOUD. Sure, they can technically move the plane on regular roads too, but the noise is just astounding.

    In a big airport you might not have noticed, because you were either in the terminal or inside a plane when that happened. However, if you’ve visited a smaller airport, you may have stood just outside the fence when someone reved up their jet engines. Imagine that, but even louder, and moving on normal roads. Should be fun for everyone.

      Well, not really. Or technically, they can if they move fast enough. If they stop, wherever they are will stop being a road quickly.

      And there’s that entire problem of making room for the wings. It’s one of the largest problems when designing airports.

      If it were the sound of the Concorde, may she RIP, I think it’s a loud I could tolerate. Sonic booms from like a city block away would relax my nerves.
