15 mile (13 NM) flight from KEDC to AUS
~ 85 gallons (322 liters).
~ 571 lbs (259 kg) of jet fuel used.
~ $477 cost of fuel.
~ 0.8991 tons of CO2 emissions.
I imagine it includes the extraction, processing and delivery of the fuel?
From a rudimentary chemistry understanding, changing a lighter hydrogen atom for a heavier oxygen atom (burning hydrocarbon -> H2O + CO2) will increase the mass. I dunno how applicable that is in the real world tho

The atoms themselves aren’t changing, you’d have to do fusion or fission for that. It’s the molecules that are changing.
I meant “swapping” a hydrogen atom for an oxygen atom within a molecule as part of the chemical reaction of combustion.
I didn’t explain it well, tho
