Early deaths from jet exhaust pollution? People need to stop building homes at 38,000 feet.

Corona virus has done a better job, fewer planes flying, less NOx, fewer collisions between planes and building above 35000 feet. Support your local Corona Virus and reduce early deaths from overexposure to laughing it's a gas.!

No mention of the thrust produced by the jet's exhaust stream being lost to the pollution control devices. To me it's a glaring omission that indicates it was not considered.

How about speed with props vs. jets? If it takes 12 hrs. to cross the Atlantic vs. 6 hrs. that means the turbine will have to run twice as long (for example). How will that relate to emissions? It is an interesting idea nevertheless.

This is the most ridiculous thread I've seen here.
