The Professor’s Minute Minute August 4, 2025



One airline’s tariff is another’s tax exemption. The travel world has never been good at fair. Did Concorde's nose grow?


Tariffs and Aviation

The unevenness is obvious. Some airlines fly through loopholes, others smack into regulatory walls.

Unintended consequences

Cheaper EVs mean less gas tax… and more road tolls or other make-up charges. Pay now or pay weird later.

Quirky Fact of the Day

The Concorde could stretch 10 inches during flight due to skin heating at Mach 2. That’s nearly a foot longer midair than on the ground. Supersonic swagger comes with side effects.
