64gb black at&t 3G finally prepared for shipment!!! Ordered 3:52am on the 11th.
Correct, but if they are at maximum load they can barely do 5500miles. I know the iPad 2 is lighter than the old one, but it's still fairly hefty![]()
The way "maximum loads" work in airplanes is that there's a maximum weight of fuel you can fly, a maximum weight of stuff in the cargo bay that you can fly, and the all important MTOW: Maximum Take Off Weight.
The MTOW being lower than the maximum weight of fuel and maximum weight of cargo that the plane is certified to fly together, usually there is a point where for every extra pound of cargo you take you have to remove a pound of fuel, which would severely reduce range. However, filling the tanks with enough fuel to make the 7,200 nm trip from HKG to MEM still leaves a lot of room for cargo.

Do either of you know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Yep it is pretty clear one of the reasons FedEx went with the 777F was that it would eliminate fuel stops on longer routes like China to MEM. The 777's MTOW is over 140k pounds higher than the MD-11's which previously served these routes. That makes a huge difference.The way "maximum loads" work in airplanes is that there's a maximum weight of fuel you can fly, a maximum weight of stuff in the cargo bay that you can fly, and the all important MTOW: Maximum Take Off Weight.

I heard a rumor that they bump you up in the queue for shipping online orders based on how often you refresh your order view screen?
Could that be true?

Ugh, exact same thing and still no luck for me... But I tried to cancel the engraving only to be told I'd have to cancel the order, ended up changing the engraving. Wonder if that hurt me?
