How Many Nascar Drivers Have Private Jets Rating: 9,8/10 2509 votes
The pictures Nico puts up of the Monaco gang appear to be the interior of a Gulfstream G450 or G550. We ascertained last week that he doesn't own it but uses netjets. Netjets are a charter company but you can also buy in to an aircraft and get partial use, a bit like a timeshare I guess. Lewis does work for Bombardier as a Brand ambassador - as does Lauda. Lewis has a Challenger 605, Lauda a global 7000. If you look up Lewis's plane it is registered to TAG Aviation in the UK. I expect they own the plane, via a loan.
Many NASCAR drivers race in other series during their off time. Do you still do kart racing outside of NASCAR and are you concerned about injury in those off-duty races? I competed in the [Superkart USA Supernationals] biggest kart race in the United States in November. Mar 31, 2017 - For example, most of his air travel — in a time when many drivers own jets or rent jet rides to race weekends — is on commercial airlines.
Lewis pays to lease the aircraft, maintain it and for flight crew to fly it. Very few people privately own high end bizjets, they are all leased, purely because of the cost and that the companies who run the plants will offer a complete service - Lewis doesn't want to be on the phone trying to get maintenance don't on the plane instead of doing his job for example. If the plane has an issue they'll simply send another one to get him where he needs to go. As a rough guide you're probably looking at $20k an hour running costs for this sort of thing.
The Bombardier aircraft are pretty nice but the class leader is the Gulfstream G650. I think the waiting list is about 3 years currently and won't leave you much change from $65m, depending on spec.
Gulfstream are following this up with G500 and G600 models that look impressive too, they aren't released yet though. If you look in to the details you'll find that even commercial aircraft are leased - the big airlines don't own them.
Two primary principles contribute to the creation of lift, which iswhat makes flight possible. Those two principles are Bernoulli'sPrinciple and Newton's Third Law. Let's break it down and look ateach principle individually. Bernoulli's Principle By definition, Bernoulli's Principle states: or an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluidoccurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure. From a practical standpoint, this basically means that as a fluid(air, water, etc) moves faster, it's internal pressure decreases.
But how does this help an airplane create lift? Well, let's think about this. Picture an airplane's wing - but cutin half so we can see the shape of it (referred to as an airfoil ).
The top of the wing is more curved than that ofthe bottom of the wing. The reasoning behind this is that theincreased curvature on top of the wing will take advantage ofsomething called magnus effect. Magnus effect? What the heck is that?
Well - before we continuelet's define magnus effect in a nutshell. I'll do this through anexample. Close your eyes and envision a baseball game. How does thepitcher get the ball to move in a desired direction? He or she cancurve the direction of the ball's flight left, right, down, or evenup if desired. Well, magnus effect states that a rotating ball or cylinder movingthrough a fluid (air, water, etc) will create faster moving fluidin the direction of rotation, thus lowering pressure and 'pulling'the ball or cylinder in that direction. This force is not createdwhen the object is stationary, which is why a baseball pitcher putsa 'spin' on the ball when he or she wants a curveball.
Phew - okay, so back to our discussion on the wing. So we know thetop of the wing is more curved than the bottom. But how does thathave anything to do with magnus effect? Basically, the shaping ofthe wing 'fools' the air around it into thinking it is a longrotation cylinder, and forces the air to travel faster over the topof the wing than that of the bottom. And according to Bernoulli'sPrinciple, faster moving air = lower pressure.
