Just wondering if it would make more sense to give fuel loads in gallons/litres rather than percentages?
Been reading Gatt's flight tests and 75% fuel on a Pony wouldn't even fit into some other plane tanks. We're making sure that the climb rate of a certain plane is spot-on to the second and arguing about extra 5 kts of speed but quote %% of fuel load when comparing planes performance?
I might be wrong but it makes very little sense to me.
I'm pretty sure that in RL it would be "take 200 gallons" rather than "take 75% fuel"...
Just a thought...
