Lift to Drag ratios at Take-off, Cruise and Landing for A320
Hey guys, does anyone know what the Lift/Drag ratios for the a320 are in the different phases of flight. I know at the optimum cruise speed, the L/D ratio is around 18, but i'm not sure what it is for take-off and landing. All help is appreciated.
Thanks
Dilan

Re: How to calculate how much fuel an A320 needs for the whole flight.
Just out of interest, I pulled out a flight plan for one of our flights from YOW to YYZ. This is 197 nms, great circle, with a flight plan distance of 214 nms. The weight of 144 passengers is accounted for, out of 146 seats, flying time is 43 minutes. Burn to YYZ from YOW is 1900 Kgs. Reserve (30 m...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft --how accurate would you guys say this link is then? it gives the kg of fuel burnt per km, and doesnt seem to match some of the numbers I have heard beforehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft --how accurate would you guys say this link is then? it gives the kg of fuel burnt per km, and doesnt seem to match some of the numbers I have heard before

What is the Lower Calorific Value of biofuels (Waste Vegetable Oil)
Hey guys, I am currently trying to calculate how much power output biofuels produce compared to standard kerosene fuel. There have been commercial aircrafts that have been blending biofuels with kerosene 50/50 so I wanted to calculate if there is a reduction in power output from the engine or not. T...

Re: How to calculate how much fuel an A320 needs for the whole flight.
Fuel burn really depends on how much payload is on board and what altitude, the lighter the plane, the less fuel is required to fly the same distance compared to a heavier plane. But generally, a 320 burns somewhere between 5000-5800lbs/hr. My airline does not dispatch any aircraft with less than 1...

How to calculate how much fuel an A320 needs for the whole flight.
Hi there, I am interested to know how to calculate how much fuel a aircraft such as an A320 needs to have for a specific distance. For e.g. If the distance is 163miles=141.643nm. I am working on a project and want to see how much fuel is used for a domestic flight within the UK, but I dont know what...

Biofuel power output on commercial aircrafts
Hi guys, I am currently doing a dissertation project on sustainable propulsion methods for commercial aircrafts and wanted to know some information on biofuel. I want to know the power output of biofuels in commercial flights and if it is the exact same output when it is blended 50/50 with the norma...
