Calculate Aircraft Range (R)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Aircraft Range (R) is:

\[ \text{R} = \frac{\text{F}}{\text{C}} \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the fuel capacity (F) is 500 gallons and the fuel consumption (C) is 50 gallons per hour. Using the formula:

\[ \text{R} = \frac{500}{50} = 10 \text{ hours} \]

So, the aircraft range is 10 hours.

Range Equation for Aircraft

Definition: The range equation for aircraft calculates the maximum distance an aircraft can fly without refueling.

Formula: \( R = \frac{V}{C} \ln \left( \frac{W_i}{W_f} \right) \)

Example: \( R = \frac{250}{0.5} \ln \left( \frac{50000}{30000} \right) \)

Range Equation for Electric Aircraft

Definition: The range equation for electric aircraft calculates the maximum distance an electric aircraft can fly on a single charge.

Formula: \( R = \frac{E}{P} \times \eta \)

Example: \( R = \frac{500}{50} \times 0.9 \)
