If we're already talking about engines: has anyone looked at the 747
fuel consumption yet? The 747-yasim model seems to need way too much
fuel. Even if I increase the fuel fraction to 1.0 in the XML file I'm
unable to fly the plane across the Atlantic properly. Try taking the
model from EDDF to KDTW, for instance, I guarantee you'll run out of
fuel. I ascend in steps (FL180, 240, 260, 280, etc. up to something
between 320 and 400, doesn't make a lot of a difference), keeping
airspeed constant to around M.82, I can't think of a significantly
more efficient way of conserving fuel.
The real 747-400 can surely do better than that, even a 767 can!
