My own PhD took me almost seven years and made me extremely anxious, I ended up not really answering the original question, and the simulation model that I built is a suspicious mess of spaghetti R code.

I’ve never felt so attacked by a meme

Also, I enjoy Shiny. Had a bit of fun building a dashboard on Bayesian statistics of COVID-19 infections in air travel back in 2020

Yes, essentially the previous studies all took the worst case scenario for the future climate (SSP5) and for just a handful of airports, many “hot and high” to begin with.

It led them to publish strong results, which “sell” well, but may also not be representative of the most likely trajectory going forward.

I generalized the previous studies by looking at all climate scenarios (SSP1 through 5) and for all airports (881 above one million passengers) instead of just a handful. I also included more climate variables (incl. air density and winds). And, I used the latest climate models (CMIP6 instead of CMIP5).

The conclusion is that takeoff performance will depend greatly on 1/ the future climate scenario (duh) and 2/ the location of the airport. Airports in and around the Siberian plateau will be the most affected.

But on average, it’s not as big of an effect as I thought it would be when I embarked in the research (and as the literature review had led me to believe)

literally an aviation doctor 

what a cool topic 

“The research questions included how much additional thrust and payload removal will be required to offset the centurial changes in takeoff conditions.”

I don't know how to parse the conclusion, tho - not much has changed since the last study?

Wow, what a juxtaposition.  love that. I'm checking it out now.
