MD 11 need to know miles per gallon

(1/1)

EHM-1838 Andrew:
Hello all
i need to know how many nautical miles per gallon the md11 does(for Fuel calc program).
cheers Andy
Cant be many

EHM-1001 Robert:
Well, I do not know the correct number, but try to divide the max range with max fuel capacity ;) it can give you an approximate value.

As you know the actual value always depend on the actual load, speed and flight level...so it can have a quite wide range.

EHM-1358 Tim:
The higher you fly, the lower the rate of fuel consumption. Also, at lower temperatures your you will be able to get more lift, so more fuel for longer flights.
