    I have previously spent an afternoon reviewing all 89 of the Soapboxes, a task that would be easily repeated, but there is something to be said for ''fresh'' Soapboxes, surely there has been enough gone on in the world for our Mr. Mitchell to comment upon, afterall, we are all older and more experienced and I for one would like to hear Mr. Mitchell's views on the further adventures of getting Olde. Soon, I'm not getting any younger.

    @horhaylvoleg 11 років тому +20

    I have Meng in Aerospace Engineering. The reason for the altitude being displayed in feet even when in another language (eg. french) is that as the british/americans dominated early air travel, the imperial system has to be adopted worldwide to measure altitude. This is to avoid mid air collisions where one plane is at 30000ft and the other is at 5.7 miles.

    • @mattgies

      Or "FL 300" as a pilot would call it (flight level 300, or 300 hundreds of feet altitude).

    • @stace3037
      @stace3037 3 роки тому +3

      But why would a French-speaking passenger want to know the height in feet, but not understand the word "feet"? Even retired French pilots would expect to see "feet", and would also be quite comfortable with metres.

    "pieds" is an actual unit in France, though... a very old one not used anymore (except with aeroplanes and submarines, for some weird reasons), it's basically just that they needed something to be able to measure so they used their feet. Just like British people did. It's not specific to the imperial system, it's just a system a lot of people from different nationalities came up with because it was useful...
