Van's Facebook page said:To help visualize what 9000 RVs might look like, computer artist Adam Burch produced a couple of graphics and ?thought pictures?:
.
Assuming an average wingspan of 27? with no gaps, 9,000 RV?s parked wingtip to wingtip would form a line of aircraft 46 miles long...
A rectangular grid of airplanes would be roughly 850 m X 720 m (with a couple inches of space between wingtips) (2788? X 2362?) and would cover about 151 acres.
Assuming an average of 180 HP, the total fleet of 9,000 would generate 1,620,000 HP
Is it notifications or FAA and other country registrations?
I want that 10,000 spot.
If the average completion rate from the last few years continues the number should hit 10,000 sometime in the summer of 2017
