How big can numbers get? Time to blow your mind...
BrianHG:
:scared: Rayo's Number, WTF am I supposed to do with that? Just the number of digits in that number can create a black hole just trying to guess what that number may be.
|O There are even larger infinities than just good old plain infinity.

Would have thought there were more than 50,000 aircraft.

Me too. Perhaps where they got their specs, they were talking specifically about operating commercial passenger aviation planes alone. Then that figure sounds more realistic.

Yeah. I mean, when you think that >11,000 units of the 737 family alone have been made (and another 4000 to be delivered), and that there are nearly 3000 of them in the air at any given moment. (And I assume it’s similar for the A320 series.)
