How much fuel does a A330 burn?
| Manufacturer | Aircraft | Fuel Consumption (kilogram/hour) |
|---|---|---|
| Airbus | A321-100 | 2885 |
| Airbus | A321-231 | 2740 |
| Airbus | A330-200 | 5590 |
| Airbus | A330-300 | 5700 |
How much fuel does an A330 burn per hour?
At heavy weights the 330-300 burns more than 7 tons an hour. At light weights it burns less than 5. On a long flight you’re looking at an average of around 6.
Is A330 fuel efficient?
Powered by the latest Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, and featuring a new wing with increased span and A350 XWB-inspired Sharklets, the A330neo provides an unprecedented level of efficiency – with 25% lower fuel burn per seat than previous generation competitors.
Which is better Airbus a330 or 787?
Essentially, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is cheaper to buy and has a better range. However, the A330neo can fit more passengers on board and will be a close competitor on routes that are shorter than their maximum range.
How fuel efficient is a 747?
According to Boeing’s Web site, the 747 burns approximately 5 gallons of fuel per mile (12 liters per kilometer). This sounds like a tremendously poor miles-per-gallon rating! But consider that a 747 can carry as many as 568 people.
How do you climb fuel per hour?
Take the number of gallons the fuel truck pumped into your tanks (fuel used) and divide by the flight time to obtain your fuel burn per hour. You can do this over a few flights, at different altitudes, to obtain an average fuel burn per hour.
How is climbing performance calculated?
If a climb gradient table is not available, the rate of climb can be calculated manually. Take your ground speed in nautical miles per hour, divide by 60 minutes per hour, and multiply by the climb gradient in feet per nautical mile. The result will be the required rate of climb in feet per minute.
How much fuel do you use on a climb?
It is considered generally accurate to plan fuel requirements for a trip with the assumption that the fuel burn rate during the climb segment is double that of fuel burn rate during cruise. In the case of the Cherokee, the Pilot Operating Handbook does not provide any definitive data on the rates of fuel consumption during a climb.
A final consideration related to fuel consumption relates to the fuel required to climb to altitude. While climb fuel consumption rates are insignificant in the case of short or brief climb segments, climb fuel becomes very significant in the case of extended or prolonged climb segments.
How much fuel does an A330 burn at idle?
From memory, a 100″ 4000 on an A330 burns 2,200 pounds at idle, and I want to say 15,000 at takeoff, but that could be off. I can find out Monday. Hope that helps. I used to love the smell of Jet-A in the morning… On the 738 we used an everage fuel flow of 2400kg/hr during cruise.
What is the empty weight of an A330?
To get a rough estimate, an A330-300 has an operating empty weight of about 274,500 lb. and it can carry about 175,170 lb. of Jet-A.
