RE: I Feel Ripped Off
Rob:
Regarding that chart, the engines are spooled up to full power just from start during the test?. I ask for knowing if the consuption is at full throttle or at mixed powers. If at mixed powers I suppose you have timed periods for different settings or do you really produce integrated figures of max. thrusts (thrust versus time) and then calculate fuel efficiency from total consuption regarded to the integrated max. thrust?.
If not done so, anybody may take a short bust of full power for a top thrust reading and then keep the turbine at a lower setting for getting low consumption figures. I would much like an aclaration so I may test my engines as per GBTA standars and compare with figures from that well respected association.
