    By far, my favorite scenario is Saturn's moon, Titan:
    An Internal-Combustion-Engined vehicle on Earth has a fuel tank and generates mechanical power by combining fuel with ambient oxygen.
    The converse would be true on Titan: the atmosphere (which is about half the density of Earth's, by the way) contains no oxygen but plenty of methane. So, conceptually, you could carry an oxygen tank instead of a fuel tank and burn the methane fuel in the ambient air!
    In reality, Titan's atmosphere is roughly 95% nitrogen and just about 5% methane, thus getting the stoichiometry correct may need some effort, but there is a good probability it is doable.

    By far, my favorite such scenario is Saturn’s moon, Titan:
    Here on Earth, an Internal-Combustion-Engined vehicle carries a fuel tank, and combines that fuel with ambient oxygen to generate mechanical power.
    On Titan, it would be the opposite: The atmosphere there (which is about half again the density of Earth’s, BTW) contains no oxygen, but does contain methane. So, conceptually, you could carry with you, not a fuel tank, but an _oxygen tank_ and burn the ambient-air methane fuel!
    Now in reality, the atmosphere on Titan is about 95% nitrogen and only about 5% methane, so getting the stoichiometry right may take some work, but fair chance it’s possible.

    • @starreaper088
      @starreaper088 4 дні тому +4

      ​@Tgrov the atmosphere has to be dense enough to push through to escape gravity. You have to have enough atmosphere to achieve optimal lift to negate gravity essentially.
      Venus and Mars are smaller than earth do the gravity would be less important than the density of the air. You have to work harder because there's less to push off of. Think of it almost like swimming. You only have to work so hard because you're less dense than water but if you're denser than the fluid around you you have to work harder to stay up. This isn't entirely accurate comparison but it's hard to explain. You could also look at it like doing a pushup. On solid ground it's easier, but the less dense and compressive the material you try to push off of the harder it becomes, meaning you have to exert more to do it.

    On Venus it depends on your elevation though. If you go high enough it’s basically like earth. The air is less dense, and a lot of that heat is gone. Reasonable enough to where a human could walk around with an air tank without protection from temperatures or anything else.
    The near earth like conditions are why since the 1960s both the US and Russia have had vague plans for buoyant cities floating on dense Venus clouds as if they were water while avoiding the issues with temperature and air density at ground level, while at the same time being elevated above the acidic clouds and rains.

    The answer is: "Define "another planet" first."
    Depending on the gravity, air pressure, and weather patterns (or lack thereof) each specific planet has its own characteristics that affect flight. Even if you assume you're talking about a simple unpowered glider... or one of NASA's experimental rocket-powered aircraft, how the plane performs will depend WHICH other planet you put it on.

    No, Titan is the best place in the Solar System. It is very similar to Earth, except it's extremely cold and very different. It has a very dense atmosphere, so it's extremely easy to fly simply using a hot air balloon. And it has plenty of water and methane, so energy is not a big issue at all and you can simply melt water and let it freeze into a structure that's probably as strong as granite on Earth, which means it's extremely easy to build there. Titan is probably the easiest place for us to live outside of Earth. It's just difficult to get there. Everything else should be easy as pie. Everyone forgets Titan! :(

    I don't get it. How is the electric plane flying? It has no propeller, but it does have a blue thruster. What is that? Can't be an ion engine.

    I'm not quite satisfied with the reasoning for the Mars explanation.
    That being, speed of sound increases as density decreases (100 times less dense air would multiply the speed of sound by a factor of 10, ignoring changes in compressiblity constant). With the 5 seconds of info here, I would think that the plane would be flying faster to achieve enough lift, but still won't be supersonic given Mars's increased speed of sound, so you might not have to worry about controlling a supersonic aircraft.

    Of all the planets, Venus seems like the one actively trying to avoid having life on it. The rest would like to have company over but just can't. Venus went out of its way to make sure nothing can live there.

    I also tought about the viscosity from the oder gases. On mars you would have less resistans to reach march one, so it‘s easier to accelerate. And on Venus (lets just asume that the plane is out of a supermaterial that withstands the atmosphere) the acceleration force would be so huge! Because the viscosity of fluids builts up squared. So yeah quite cool question.

  • @PTNLemay

    I think it depends on that planet's gravitational acceleration and the atmospheric density. Also the presence of oxygen if you have air breathing engines.

    You could fly a plane on Mercury if you go high enough and fast enough, but at that point it would be more of an orbit than actually flying the plane.

    Easiest place for flying a plane in our solar system is Titan, where gravity is low and the athmosphere dense. In his book "What if" Randall Monroe claims that the power of your muscles would be sufficient to fly a Cessna.

    You would have to fly at Mach 1 on Mars to get enough lift? So you'd have to fly 308 km/h faster than a commercial aircraft on Earth. That's extremely manageable compared to ANY problem with other planets.

    Jupiter is massive, about 1300 earths can fit inside it,so gravity should be the first concern,other factors should be second😊❤🎉
