This is way more planes than I picture in my head.
Also, planes make up 5% of our global emissions, and aviation emissions have increased 44% in the last ten years . Shit's whack, we need to return to hydrogen-powered zeppelins.

Tracks and bridges are not cheap to maintain.
I imagine that comes into the emissions cost per mile or something (likewise, runways, plane maintenance etc etc)
The coming age of electric air travel is going to be noisy but cleaner.
I have mixed feelings about the constant sound of drones in my life.
I'd hope that commercial (or public) air travel won't be done by drone helicopters and not be used for commuting. But the lathe of heaven turns
Electric passenger plane travel is coming , but not by quad copters. It is still as loud or louder than jet engines. Cargo by drone planes is going to be constant though. The sky will always be full of moving lights except in some dark sky preserves. I might retire near one just to stay sane.
Urgh, I'm already stressed out by freeway/traffic sounds.
