    Plane question

    Which would you say is better to use, the Cyclone or Cloudliner? It will be mainly used (at first) for trips between NYC and London/Paris.

    Feeling pretty dumb - never realized speed increased the cost of a flight. I see why people like Aero's better than Pearjets now.

    It makes me wonder, though - would Sequoia's be more cost effective than Cyclones?

    Sequoia: 10 capacity, 10 weight, 190 speed
    Cyclone: 12 capacity, 12 weight, 295 speed

    If cost-per-mile is calculated as (speed * weight) /400, then they have the following cost per mile per capacity:

    Sequoia: 0.475
    Cyclone: 0.7375

    So the obvious trade-off is that Cyclone's get the job done quicker and can be sent back out. You'd also need 6 sequoia's to replace the capacity of 5 cyclones.

    I think if you are playing constantly all day long, Cyclone might be better. However, if you leave your planes idle between updates due to work/school/etc, I wouldn't be surprised if Sequoias were much better.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    It's exactly as you said.

    But the Cyclone can fly further, so depending on your route, maybe the extra cost of flying the Cyclone is offset by the savings made by it flying more direct. Sequoias can't fly from New York to Istanbul directly, they have to go via London, I wonder if the saving made by being able to fly New York - Istanbul would make Cyclones worth it.
