How is this advanced..? I expected tips on how to calculate consumption in cases where the tank is filled to the full but wasn't totally empty and/or is empty but not filled to the full and any combination of the two... I suspect some pretty fancy maths are needed for that using some sort of interrim estimates and such... Can I find a video on that?
A P3-K2 aircraft is to fly to a point 1500km from its base and then return. Because of a prevailing wind, the return trip will require 1/3 more petrol than the outgoing trip. If the fuel needed for the round trip is 525 gallons, how many gallons will be required for the outgoing trip alone? Assume a linear relationship between fuel consumption and aircraft speed.
Litres per 100 km. You cannot answer a fuel consumption question by replying in distance travelled. The question was for fuel used, (consumed) not distance travelled.
Totally underestimated channel Unfortunatlly!
Great explanations for maths formulas!
Love it! I just learned something new

simple and good calculation.
Very helpful. Thanks
Lifesaver, thanks mate

Nobody uses gallons, it's a metric world . . .
thank you very much

When you say the amount of fuel do you mean when it's a full tank and what's left after?
How about the specific fuel density?
thanks sir
