Gold dots: 809 cities — USA & Europe ≥ 250,000; all other continents ≥ 1 million (GeoNames). J-2000 nose tracks the cursor. Dotted ring = one-way range.

Powerplant class

Relative range scales with inverse TSFC from the J-2000 Breguet study (part-power ~748 hp compressor load, 725 lbf FPS thrust). Catalyst is the reference (factor 1.0). CT7/T700 is ~2 % better; PT6A-class is ~22 % shorter.

Altitude (ft MSL)

Altitude effect: Breguet K rises linearly +12% from sea level to 10,000 ft (better SFC + drag reduction). MOSAIC-aligned cap. Simplified model only — not operational planning data.

Satellite globe (Esri imagery, single world). Range ring is a geodesic circle labeled one-way range. Updated aerodynamic assumption: L/D = 10 at C_L ≈ 0.8 (previous study case used 7.5). Baseline K scaled accordingly. Engine factors from part-power SFC comparison (PT6A / CT7-T700 / Catalyst). Conceptual tool only. Cities: GeoNames city-proper population.
