To travel coast to coast (LA-NY / NY-LA) guaranteed nonstop you must use at MINIMUM the following category of aircraft:
- A.
Light Jet
- B.

Correct Answer
C. Super Midsize JetExplanation
A super midsize jet is the minimum category of aircraft required to travel coast to coast (LA-NY / NY-LA) nonstop. This type of jet has the range and fuel capacity necessary to cover the long distance without making any stops for refueling. Light jets and midsize jets have shorter ranges and may require refueling stops, while heavy jets are larger and may not be necessary for this particular journey. Therefore, a super midsize jet is the most suitable option for a nonstop coast to coast flight.Rate this question:
