> That's a pretty poor approximation

It's not an approximation. I'm giving a sense of scale, not saying how much volume the plane has. The point is that while 11 million cubic feet sounds like a lot, if you put it in a big box next to the plane then they would be on the same scale.

> the plane isn't moving 11 million cubic feet just to move forward, it pushes on a little more than a quarter of that directly

That's jseip's post's problem, not mine.
