Could a Plane Still Fly if Every Seat Had a Power Socket?

To you and me , it ’s probably more unspeakable settling down for a long flight and see there ’s no AC socket for your laptop , than hear there ’s a cry baby behind you . It ’s not stinginess that ’s withholding the succus , it ’s physics .

plainly put , the plane would be too heavy to take off . So claims various readers of The Atlantic , who write in after adding up the math and coming to the finis that to offer 120V AC sockets to every person you ’d call for “ the equivalent weight of ten or so Chevy Volt batteries , and an inverter the size of it of a large refrigerator . ” This is if every person was using 2 amps of power over an eight hour flight , so it ’d obviously vary .

Even a spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic got in touch modality , who said that for every three - person wrangle of seat , two mercantile establishment are on offer for a maximum of 225 watts — though some have complained about the office cutting out . The discussion is a very interesting read for anyone who ’s ever fumed over not being given a power socket , so I ’d definitely recommend taking a look at the ( often conflicting ) arguments .
