Aircraft Fuel Consumption Calculator
Aircraft Fuel Consumption Guide
Plan smarter and fly more efficiently with this guide to understanding aircraft fuel consumption.
How It Works
- Select Aircraft Type: Choose from a wide range of jets, turboprops, or piston aircraft. If your model isn't listed, you can use a custom fuel burn rate (GPH/LPH).
- Enter Flight Details: Provide the flight duration and fuel prices (in USD and INR).
- Get Instant Results: The calculator provides total fuel required (gallons), estimated cost, CO₂ emissions, and approximate distance based on cruising speed.
Why Use This Tool
- Accuracy: Accounts for climb, cruise, and descent phases.
- Comprehensive: Supports jets, turboprops, pistons, and experimental aircraft.
- Cost & Emissions: Helps budget fuel costs and estimate environmental impact.
- Trusted: Used by airlines, private owners, and flight schools.
Sample Fuel Burn Rates
| Aircraft |
Fuel Burn (GPH) |
Range (NM) |
Cost/Hour* |
| Cessna 172 | 8–10 | 600 | $50–$70 |
| King Air C90 | 50–60 | 1,200 | $400–$500 |
| Gulfstream G650 | 400–500 | 7,500 | $3,000+ |
*Based on $6/gallon Jet-A.
