Title: AR 234 Fuel load out and Burn rate
Post by: JimmyD3 on January 20, 2014, 12:44:54 AM

Upped a formation of AR 234's tonight, Hanger fuel range was indicated at 31 minutes for Full Fuel. After takeoff climbed to 15k turned to target 3 sectors away. Made first bomb pass, checked fuel for second pass, still had 38 minutes left (I had been running at Full throttle). Made second pass, turned for home 4 sectors away. Landed with an indicated balance of 31 minutes of fuel. Now I know throttle settings can have an impact on the fuel consumption, but something doesn't seem right.  :headscratch:

Air is thinner the higher you go & with a jet engine it gets very efficient once to alt & up to speed.
