Flight Emissions (Short vs Long)

Distance-based tier factor with takeoff-heavy short hops.

Emissions (kg CO₂, illustrative) = distance × factor. Factors: 0.25 kg/km below 1500 km (takeoff-heavy), 0.15 above 3700 km; mid-haul blends linearly.

Tier factor: 0.205 kg CO₂ per km → trip ≈ 511 kg CO₂

Human-readable impact: at ~1.5 kW and the default grid, that CO₂ load is in the ballpark of running a resistive hair dryer for about 48701 minutes—useful only as a feel for scale; real bookings need airline-specific factors.

Flight Emissions (Short vs Long Haul) helps you distance-based tier factor with takeoff-heavy short hops. It is commonly used by engineers, lab users, field operators for flight emissions, short haul co2, air travel calculator.

Factors

  • **Under 1500 km:** 0.25 kg CO₂ per km (takeoff-heavy).
  • **Over 3700 km:** 0.15 kg CO₂ per km.
  • **Between:** linear blend.

Output is illustrative; airlines and load factors change real inventories.
