F/A-18C Fuel Performance

[DaleHawerchuk]

I am in the process of making a campaign, and needed some way to plan for my fuel in my missions. I am working on a fuel calculator/planner, but I needed some data first.

Thought I could share the data I collected so far, pretty interesting stuff for a big Hornet nerd like me. Overall comparison, all the rest of the data in the PDF.

I will share the calculator once I'm done and I had the chance to test it a bit.

Nice one!

Btw, do you know that someone has made something similar in the past? Maybe you can lend some ideas from it.

I would also indicate the pressure and temperature settings used during the test. 29.92inHg and 15°C would be recommended since they correspond to Standard Atmosphere.

Fuel usage in the Hornet has some odd behaviors and is supposedly being looked into.
