Jets run on kerosine, not "gasoline". A 747 uses roughly 10 tonnes per hour.

 

I can`t find the numbers right now but this equates to about 3 litres per 100 km per person. In comaprison, my Legacy Wagon used to use between 10-11 litres per 100 km.

OK, here`s an A330

 

"Of course it depends on weight, altitude and std temp deviation and speed. The following values are not are from FCOM 3, actually noted observations of mine during flight. The avarage Mach no 0.81.

 

When it is about 200 ton, at FL 370 (that is approximate fuelwise Opt level at Std temp) 2 eng total consumption rate is 100 kg/min (approx).

 

When it is about 170 ton, at FL 400 (that is approximate fuelwise Opt level at Std temp) 2 eng total consumption rate is 90 kg/min (approx)."

Come on, in forward flight it is soooo not a helicopter...

 

Besides, how am I going to fly to Japan to go skiing in a plane fitted with a gatling gun.

 

Besides that, I think the problem I'll have is getting a cheap ticket.

 

Al, I think you are destined to remain in Australia for the rest of your days...

Thanks for that info soubs.

Got my mind thinking about these things, trying to do lots of comparisons. If I get it done and it's worth sharing I'll post it.
