Default RE: F-18 with EDF???

well that's good enough for me then....if you say so!

the numbers speak for themselves...

at 36 mph this is the optimum coefficient of lift to drag ration and pulls around 1.4- 2.9 amps at this condition.

isnt the way to find out time at this simply C/A x 60?

on the other hand, to maintain level flight, the aircraft needs to do 53mph which is 5.7A. this can be done for 22 minutes.

please dont be sorry, just please post the rationale behind your comment..
