- Cost per passenger mile: ~$3.00 - $5.00 (depending on operation and fuel costs)

Helicopter: Sikorsky S-76 (Medium Helicopter)
- V1 speed: N/A (helicopters use different takeoff dynamics)
- Cost per passenger mile: ~$4.00 - $6.00 (estimate for passenger services)

Helicopter: Airbus H125 (Light Helicopter)
- V1 speed: N/A
- Cost per passenger mile: ~$3.50 - $5.50 (depending on operational costs and load)

Car: Average Car (Personal Sedan, Compact Car)
- V1 speed: N/A (cars don’t have a V1 speed)
- Cost per passenger mile: ~$0.50 - $0.75 (depending on fuel efficiency, maintenance, and other operational costs)

Car: Electric Car (e.g., Tesla Model 3)
- V1 speed: N/A (cars don’t have a V1 speed)
- Cost per passenger mile: ~$0.10 - $0.15 (assuming electricity costs and efficiency)

Car: Ride-Sharing Service (e.g., Uber or Lyft)
- V1 speed: N/A
- Cost per passenger mile: ~$1.00 - $2.00 (based on typical ride-sharing rates, which include factors like driver compensation, platform fees, and vehicle maintenance)

Train: High-Speed Rail (e.g., Shinkansen in Japan, TGV in France)
- V1 speed: N/A (trains don’t have a V1 speed)
- Cost per passenger mile: ~$0.10 - $0.20 (depending on route, country, and operational model)

Train: Regional Rail (e.g., Amtrak, Commuter Trains)
- V1 speed: N/A
- Cost per passenger mile: ~$0.15 - $0.25 (depending on country and system)

High-Speed Rail:
1. Trains like the Shinkansen (Japan), TGV (France), and other high-speed rail systems provide highly efficient transportation with low cost per passenger mile. The cost per passenger mile for high-speed rail is typically around $0.10 - $0.20.
2. These systems are most cost-effective when running at full capacity and can transport large numbers of passengers over longer distances.

Regional Rail:
1. Commuter and regional trains (like Amtrak or various national/regional systems) generally have a cost per passenger mile in the range of $0.15 - $0.25.
2. These trains are often used for daily commuting and short-distance travel, offering significant capacity but at slightly higher costs compared to high-speed options.

Cars (personal and electric) remain one of the lowest-cost options, with electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 providing the cheapest travel at $0.10 - $0.15 per mile.
Trains (both high-speed and regional) offer competitive or slightly higher costs depending on the region, with high-speed rail as the most affordable for long-distance travel at $0.10 - $0.20 per mile.
Helicopters, UAM vehicles (like drones), and aircraft generally have higher operational costs per mile, particularly for smaller aircraft, helicopters, and new UAM technologies like eVTOLs and passenger drones.
