i think it depends on where you are, not what kind of vehicle you're in. cars driving on the airport tarmac have to follow generally the same rules as the airplanes, so i'd expect airplanes driving down the road have to do the same as cars. thus it probably counts as driving

How about helicopters? Could we take a 777 and make it VTOL like an Osprey?

i doubt the kingdom of saudi arabia will go along with attempts at rules lawyering for very long. try it and you probably get detained, maybe get your rear end kicked, and likely get banned from the country. which on the whole would be no big loss for anyone it happens to.

Schadenboner posted:How about helicopters? yes, but it would suck  hawker siddeley cancelled this concept (HS.141) when it became apparent that vertical takeoff would require 16 lift-jet engines with a combined thrust of three times what the two cruise engines needed to produce. turns out airfoils are a very good way to produce lift and there might be a reason we don't know of any flying creatures that propel themselves off the ground with powerful farts

worth noting of course that that only applies to the reynolds numbers you'd get in an earth-like atmosphere at human scale. if you're in a more viscous fluid, like say water, jet propulsion can be very efficient. it's also plausible that flying creatures on the scale of amoebas could propel themselves with air jets as there's similar fluid behavior on that scale.

Schadenboner posted:Does taxing count as driving or flying? Could they just drive the plane to they hotel? theres a legal difference between taxiing with and without the intention of taking off (or having just landed). its so that for example maintenance people don't need to have pilots licenses to move the plane out of a hangar and do an engine run up test. so maybe you're only ok if you intend to take off

The woman pilot probably has the intention of taking off from Riyadh International or whatever? Therefore I see no legal reason she can't just land, taxi over to the Marriott or whatever, then taxi back in the morning? E: Do the engines have to be running continuously for it to count as a single act of taxing?

the proposed rule bending would revolve around a foreigner immediately leaving after spending lots of money in the country, saudi arabia bends rules for that all the time just be sure its enough money and you're leaving fast enough!
