Fuel burning[BUG] #68

Open olivers1989 opened 3 years ago

olivers1989 commented 3 years ago

Hello, i have planned a flight via Simbrief.. They told me a tripfuel of 54888kg ... now i have 1hour left to fly and ive burned 30.000kg so that means ... that the difference is very very much ....

olivers1989 commented 3 years ago

Hey, you can found the real weight on this page https://alliknowaviation.com/2019/12/14/fuel-consumption-aircraft/

its in kg.... so 5700kg per hour .... that means 12.566 lbs/per hr

you can also find it on this page https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1355819 its the same value ...

or you can find it here https://www.quora.com/How-much-fuel-does-a-Boeing-747-or-777-consume-per-hour-while-in-flight-and-what-is-the-approximate-cost-of-that-fuel-for-the-airline its a little bit different ... only 5.460 kg per hour ...

I feel this could be related to the overpowered engine thrust as cited in issue #16 as I have noticed that during cruise it only requires around 60% N1 to stay aloft when I believe it should be around 70 or 80. So it may not necessarily be an issue with the fuel consumption itself but rather low fuel usage due to high thrust.

yeah so i tried a lot and the 12.500lbs per hour brought the results according to simbrief... there are still small differences but these are okay...

so please update the fuel burn to 5.700kg - 12.500lbs per hour...
