Fuel burn calculation
« on: July 24, 2018, 10:24:21 am »
Does anyone know how to calculate the fuel burn of an airplane?
I have tried to multiply fuel burn and distance for different flight route,
try to solve the constant k (price for fuel)
but different route does not have the same k.
Is that because the price for fuel are different from place to place?
or it has other factors? ie head wind, fullness of the airplane, age ....?
