bkthunder Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) So I just picked up the baguette today after a while, and noticed that fuel flow is still only taking into account altitude and not airspeed.. So at high altitude you can go Mach 2 for ages 'cause you're not burning any more fuel than if you were going slower.... This has been around for ages (two years?), and it really isn't very fair when other airplanes are burning realistic amounts... Come on Razbam, fix this stuff, it's pretty fundamental stuff you know?

Bogey Jammer Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) I leave this here for commenting: I done that some months ago, standard conditions with advanced weather model, and by reading cockpit instruments. Full lines are clean configuration, 50% fuel, dotted are full AA armed, 90% fuel. In short, if the fuel consumption was constant at any speed, the FF/TAS ratio lines would be linear I guess.

When you say airspeed, do you mean throttle setting/engine RPM? Because airspeed is not really tied to the fuel flow, fx going insanely fast in a dive with the throttle at idle will let you have a really fast airspeed with very low fuel flow. So, are you trying to say that the fuel consumption is constant at a given altitude, no matter what the throttle setting is and despite the fuel flow gauge rising along with the throttle setting?

Bonus, same with IAS: Interesting. If I'm reading that correct, then the fully armed AA craft with more fuel at 20.000 feet, spend less fuel going at a speed, compared to a clean craft with less fuel? ...That seems wrong somehow.
