Hey peeps.
Do you wanna know how long it takes the SP radial engine to empty 1 gallon of fuel? Equivelant to 4 litres?
3 minutes?
1 minute?
30 seconds?
No. 12 f*** seconds. I mean, I can’t even empty a milk bottle that fast!!!! I don’t even think a Trent 1000 empties fuel that fast! That’s fricken 1800 litres an hour!
.
At that rate, a DC-3 with full 804 gallon tanks and two of these engines wouldn’t even be able to fly for 15 minutes.
.
Piston engines are wobbly, bulky, and unreliable. @randomusername
What’s with you and ‘electric’ engines lol @randomusername
Something with input drag and engine power but I wouldn’t recommend it for a r eplica @jamesPLANESii
@Chancey21 what is the XML property?
Ye @SAC923
How? @Chancey21
Fixed the spelling error @WNP78 @aplayer @F104Deathtrap
No wonder my plane with 400 gallons of fuel has the endurance of the Me-163.....
Wow dude. You’ve improved since I was last here, almost platinum and been here for almost 4 years, that is just amazing
I have doom some test myself and I have all the results on my notes, I can look at it but I know the first basic prop takes 2 minutes per gallon
You can edit the fuel consumption...
Ummm... that is ridiculous, but if it gets fixed, then all the existing planes on the site will have to be updated for the appropriate fuel.
Nooooooooo don’t fix this all the people who work for the gasoline companies will starve... SimplePlanes is 99.6452 percent of the world gas consumption noooooo
@jamesPLANESii Depends on the settings, right? What HP/throttle are you using for this calculation? A Wright Cyclone (1,000hp) cruises on .43lb/hp/hr. Perhaps compare the two? I have no idea what an appropriate throttle setting is for a turbosupercharged engine from the 1930's.
@aplayer Gallium is a metal.
Eyyy what is gallium?
1 gallium of fuel...
Oof
Oof (O_o) @jamesPLANESii
