About Bombardier Aircraft & Fuel Consumption
Bombardier is a Canadian manufacturer best known for its CRJ regional jet series and Global/Challenger business jets. Fuel consumption depends on aircraft type, size, and operating profile:
- Regional Jets: CRJ200/700/900/1000 typically consume between 2,100 and 2,900 liters of fuel per hour.
- Business Jets: Long-range jets like the Global 7500 consume around 1,300 L/hr, while the Challenger 650 uses about 1,000 L/hr.
- Payload & Range: Higher passenger loads and long-range missions increase fuel burn.
- Efficiency: Bombardier aircraft are optimized for regional routes and business aviation, with lower burn compared to larger commercial jets.
- Fuel Types: Certified for Jet-A, Jet-A1, and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
Calculation Formulas:
- Fuel Used = Burn Rate (liters/hour) × Flight Hours
- Total Cost = Fuel Used × Fuel Price
- CO₂ Emissions = Fuel Used × Emission Factor (kg CO₂ per liter)
Example:
A Bombardier CRJ900 with a burn rate of 2,600 L/hr flying for 2 hours using Jet-A1 fuel at ₹92/liter:
- Fuel Used = 2,600 × 2 = 5,200 liters
- Total Cost = 5,200 × 92 = ₹478,400
- CO₂ Emissions = 5,200 × 2.45 = 12,740 kg CO₂
