A transatlantic flight (TATL) is the flight of an aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe, Africa, South Asia, or the Middle East to North America, South America, or vice versa. Such flights have been made by fixed-wing aircraft, airships, balloons and other aircraft. The distance of contemporary flights varies between 3,000 km (East Canada to Ireland) to 15,000 km (New York to Singapore). Early aircraft engines had neither the reliability nor the power to lift the required fuel to support transatlantic flight. There were difficulties navigating over the featureless expanse of water for thousands of kilometres, and the weather, especially in the North Atlantic, is unpredictable. Sinc…

Does Crypto Trading Activity Follow New York Time? Cross-Venue and New York-London Evidence from Clock Changes. Cryptocurrency markets trade continuously, but continuous access need not make liquidity and information processing temporally uniform. We test whether Bitcoin and Ether trading activity is anchored to fixed Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or to the local operating hours of a traditional financial center. U.S. daylight-saving transitions move the 9:30 a.m. New York equity-market open by one hour in UTC, causing two fixed thirty-minute UTC windows to exchange local-time alignment while retaining their UTC identities. Using five-minute Binance and Coinbase spot data from 2018 throu…

This listing of flight altitude records are the records set for the highest aeronautical flights conducted in the atmosphere and beyond, set since the age of ballooning. Some, but not all of the records were certified by the non-profit international aviation organization, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), founded on 14 October 1905 in Paris by Aéro Clubs from several nations. One reason for a lack of 'official' certification was that the flight occurred prior to the creation of the FAI. For clarity, the "Fixed-wing aircraft" table is sorted by FAI-designated categories as determined by whether the record-creating aircraft left the ground by its own power (category "Altitude"…
