Size It Up Vehicles answer: September 14

The five Vehicles silhouettes for September 14, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.

Day 11 ran from a Classic Mini (3.05 m) to a Saturn V (111 m). The widest gap was round 5, Classic Mini against Space Shuttle Orbiter, at 12×; the closest call was round 2, Space Launch System against Roskilde 6 Longship, only 2.7× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Shipping Container (40 ft) vs Saturn V

    Saturn V · reference · 111 m
    Shipping Container · true length · 12.2 m

    9.1× shorter than the Saturn V

    A standard 40-foot container is 12.2 m long; the world moves 800 million of them a year.

  2. ROUND 2

    Space Launch System (Block 1 with Orion) vs Roskilde 6 Longship (reconstructed)

    Roskilde 6 Longship · reference · 37 m
    Space Launch System · true height · 98.15 m

    2.7× taller than the Roskilde 6 Longship

    SLS Block 1 stands about 98.1 m tall with Orion and its escape tower fitted.

  3. ROUND 3

    Los Angeles-class Submarine vs SR-71 Blackbird

    SR-71 Blackbird · reference · 32.74 m
    Los Angeles-class Submarine · true length · 109.7 m

    3.4× longer than the SR-71 Blackbird

    A Los Angeles-class submarine is 109.73 m long, with most of its volume hidden underwater in service.

  4. ROUND 4

    Airbus H135 (including rotor envelope) vs Falcon Heavy

    Falcon Heavy · reference · 70 m
    Airbus H135 · true length · 12.26 m

    5.7× shorter than the Falcon Heavy

    The H135 occupies 12.26 m along its operating length, including the rotor envelope. The cabin alone is much shorter.

  5. ROUND 5

    Classic Mini vs Space Shuttle Orbiter

    Space Shuttle Orbiter · reference · 37.2 m
    Classic Mini · true length · 3.05 m

    12× shorter than the Space Shuttle Orbiter

    The original Mini fits into 3.05 m of road length. Its compact body keeps the wheels close to the corners.
