Mono audio generally means having one channel of sound, whether you are using one speaker or ten to play that one channel.

If I remember correctly flame from turbine need to be ignited once than you just switch of the ignition unlike piston engine

I fly a little more than you, mostly US domestic, mostly Delta. Had no idea what this post was about, only ever seen 3.5mm jacks. So yeah, maybe its a regional thing.

A Diesel engine, or any piston engine is limited by the linear speed of the piston. When the fuel air mixture is ignited, the flame front travels around 4000 ft/min. The piston can’t travel any faster than that. The stroke of the engine and the rpm determine how fast the piston is going.

An engine with a short stroke can rev much higher than one with a long stroke. A diesel engine tends to have a very long stroke to get the high compression ratios, hence a low redline. A small motorcycle engine has a short stroke and can rev much higher.

Rotary/wankel engines don’t follow this rule.

Turbines have a different combustion system in stages which allows it to go higher rpm.

I'm adding butter and salt to my boiled or mashed potatoes. Who isn't?

3.5mm earphone jacks have been standard for ages though - the original Sony Walkman (released in 1979) already had it. My understanding is that the airline industry deliberately chose a different connector so people won't steal the headphones. Then later, they switched to 3.5mm when headphones became dirt cheap and not worth stealing.

So, mono audio?

Why don't gas turbine have trouble burning fuel fast enough but diesel has (I never see sooth from gas turbine engine!)

For one, the forces are different. You're comparing the rotational force of a turbine against the reciprocating mass of a piston engine, the forces at high RPM are incredibly strong on a connecting rod.

Secondly, diesel engines are compression/ignition design and are very efficient and make lots of torque at low RPM so there is no need to spin it faster.

I've been on close to 40 flights in the last 5 years, and I can't remember a single one with standard 3.5mm. All had the two pin connectors.

I was flying mostly in the SEA and Middle Eastern regions, so maybe that's the reason?

Oh I guess this does make sense. There's pain when ur hungry, there's pain when you have gas. The pain goes away when your stomach growls, and the pain goes away when you flatulate.

I appreciate you looking into it. I can't stand raisins myself, so the risk seemed low. But I thought it was worth mentioning.

Might work sometimes, though last time I did that I only got audio on one ear...

You would also stab and bash yourself with things all day long, man. Come on

I disagree. I think boiled tatties feel much more wholesome and appetizing than the puffed up fry.
