Q3 Why are Japan's bullet trains sopopular? A3 Nicholas Stone, Life long interest intrains. Wed Japan’s bullet trains are astonishingly popular. The remainder ofthis answer will use the correct word “shinkansen”, when describing the bullettrain. Visitors toJapan should familiarise themselves with the word shinkansen, which is alwaysused. You seldom, if ever, see the words “bullet train”. To assist with memorising, theJapanese word shinkansen translates as new-main-line. A N700 shinkansenspeeds across Japan. The backdrop is the equally iconic Mount Fuji. The shinkansen is popular because it is fast, reliable,frequent and connects most of Japan’s major towns and cities.It’s also popular with rail enthusiasts - a train famed for its sleekappearance, technology and operational excellence. The first line opened in October 1964, attractingglobal attention among rail fans and setting the benchmark for future projects. As a lifelong rail enthusiast myself, a ride on theshinkansen in July 2000 was highly exciting, eagerly anticipated and fulfilledan ambition since childhood. The shinkansen is a railwaylegend and a transport marvel. Passenger ridershipeclipses almost all other railway statistics. The Tōkaidō shinkansen betweenTokyo and Shin-Osaka typically carries 140 million passengers annually(pre-pandemic). Each 16carriage train carries over 1,300 passengers. From Tokyo, there at least 10departures during the working day on the Tōkaidō route. Reservations are not needed,so you just arrive at the station, wait a few minutes and board the next train. When visitingJapan, a trip on the shinkansen is part of the holiday experience - and highlyrecommended. Q4 Which airports are the mostpilot-friendly to land and take off? A4 Akib Hossain, Former SEO Expert andDigital Marketer Dec 15 It has the longestrunway in the world with total length of 7,5 miles or 12,1 kilometers.It is located in a desert with absolutely no obstaclesaround. And the reason why it is so long? Space shuttleused to land there! The reason why it needs such a long runway is safety. Specifically: The space shuttle only has one chance to land.If something goes wrong (chute (the main tool used to slow down) may notdeploy, the shuttle could land farther than expected, too much speed etc.) and the runway is not long enough,the shuttle may crash, because there is no opportunity for taking off againlike a plane and giving it another try. The reasons why it cannot just try again are: The space shuttle,from the aerodynamic point of view, is basically just a flying brick.There is no way those tiny winglets you see on it could produce enough lift forit to take off. They are just there for support. The reasonthere are no wings is the speed at which space shuttle enters the atmosphere.It enters the atmosphere so fast that it has to orbit around the Earth for awhile to slow down. Such speed would literally rip the wings off. Even if spaceshuttle had wings large enough, there is no fuel left during landing.It would not be possible to take off again. My note- Quiteinteresting information. But desert name is not mentioned inthis answer.
