Zachanonymous 0 #1 Posted September 22, 2019 How much fuel is used to bring a plane to altitude and back to earth for an 8 passenger plane ( would that equate to a King Air?) and if that doesn't cover a King Air then how much might a King Air burn? Do you see in the future, the possibility of electric aircraft? Obviously within 100 years I could imagine something like that, but in the near future, I am keeping in mind that DropZones are using hand me down aircraft. That was my assumption at least.

20kN 93 #3 September 22, 2019 (edited) A Grand Caravan 208 uses around 20 gallons per load. A King Air would probably use around 25 depending on how fast they get to altitude. Edited September 22, 2019 by 20kN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
