A PW20XX can go from flight idle to 95Z% take-off in 2 seconds. In fact 2 seconds is the max allowed for ground testing after engine change (as I recall). Ground idle to 95% take-off takes 4-6 seconds. On the JT9D-7A/AH, we would move the throttle very slowly until we passed flight idle (about 75% N2, as I recall).
Myth: Idling Your Car to Warm Up the Engine is Good. Fact: No. Quite the opposite is true. There was a time decades ago when cars equipped with carburetors needed to be idled for a few minutes in cold weather because the air/fuel mixture was too rich in fuel. Warming up the engine helped improve the carburetor’s ability to properly balance
So we suggest finically-focussed self-interest cues be included in messaging used by awareness campaigns to reducing idling in Delhi. For example, a message could say: RED LIGHT: ON. VEHICLE: OFF. SAVE RS 30,000 A YEAR! Different ways of displaying the cues, with and without volunteers, can be tested using field experiments.
