Fuel Planning

[CHINA_HAT_FWD]

Hi All,

 

Can anyone offer any 'rules of thumb' to work with for basic mission fuel planning?

 

I would like to hear what figures people use on average for each phase of flight/mission. I know there are so many variables here but some averages for use in the planning stage would be really helpful, and I can't find much guidance online.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

This might help. I need to update it for the more powerful engines, but it's a place to start:

Nice little tool, that. But, no bombs?

Thanks for the nice tool!

2 points I noticed:

- Landing distances remain in feet despite meters selected as unit

- Check selectable stores at stations 4 & 6, that seems not right to me (MRAAMs missing; 2 AGM-65s!?, etc.).

Just plan to have Aerial refueling available for this gas guzzler;), to keep all the options open.

 

Would be good to have something in combatflite, I think he has done enough with that software tho;) you can get plenty of planing info from it.

 

Then use
