Since all engine are running at full Mil power all the time I am assuming that the fuel consumption tables are using the GPH (Gallons per Hour) of Mil power not cruise or normal power.
I ask this because I have the P-38L manual and the F4U-1D manual.
F4U-1D
237 gallons fuel
Mil power GPH=280 GPH
Duration= .85 Hours at Mil power.
P-38L
410 gallons
Mil power GPH =334 GPH
duration 1.22 hours at mil power
P-47D-23 and below
305 gallons
Mil power GpH= 275 GPH
duration= 1.1 hours
P-47D-25 and higher
370 gallons
Mil power GPH=275 GPH
Duration= 1.34hours
F4U-1
361 gallons
Mil power GPH= 280GPH
Duration= 1.29Hours
Remeber these are not max range numbers. They are duration at Mil power.
Does anyone have GPH numbers for Euro types?? Or Japanese?
