- Contexto
- It was found that the different calculations of fuel burn for the baseline aircraft agreed reasonably well in terms of absolute kg/ATK but it was also found that if the precise inputs were matched (e.g. lift/drag ratio, empty weight/maximum take-off weight, engine specific fuel consumption, reserve fuel assumptions) then the agreement in absolute values was very close even when different models were used.
