On that fuel burn, we saw 320 knots of true airspeed, or 368 miles per hour.
High (and expensive) fuel burn has always been seen as the main obstacle to such performance.
At that fuel burn we saw 320 knots of true airspeed, or 368mph.
The added weight of 1 person does add to our fuel burn, especially on flights 5 hrs or more to Hawaii.
FORBES: Connecting marketers to the Forbes audience. What is this?
But in 1999, Aviation Partners showed in test flights that its devices cut fuel burn, and the companies formed their joint venture.
One example: the chairman recently ordered retraining for a senior captain who mistook excess fuel burn for an engine fire, resulting in a 34-hour flight delay.
At present, says Dr Demkowicz, reactors burn only around 1% of their fuel, so even a modest increase in fuel burn would leave less radioactive waste.
With a fuel burn 30% less than a typical light jet and a cruise speed of more than 345 mph, the King Air 250 really zips along.
FORBES: The Most Successful Aircraft Design Gets Even Better
If it worked the new engines would cut fuel burn by more than 15% compared with competing turbojets and produce half the noise, allowing airlines to push more flights through urban airports.
FORBES: The Billion-Dollar Bet On Jet Tech That's Making Flying More Efficient
Boeing claims the 7E7 would cut fuel burn by 20 percent over current aircraft and save airlines 10 percent on overall operating costs, citing new, fuel-sipping engines and lightweight materials that will also cut maintenance costs.
That added to delays since flights had to wait for space in the stream of planes and made it difficult for lots of flights to get on ideal tracks for winds, slowing flights and increasing fuel burn.
WSJ: How New Air-Traffic Control Systems Operate Over Oceans
Yes I have seen the advocacy for Liquid Fluoride Thorium reactors and there are some apparent tantalizing advantages over current Uranium reactor designs like ability to burn plutonium as a starter fuel, less production of transuranics, higher fuel burn efficiencies, etc.
If we have less cheap oil and fuel to burn, our carbon emissions will necessarily fall.
Companies spend billions of dollars each year on decades-old generator technology and tens of billions on the diesel fuel to burn in these inefficient and high-pollutant generators.
FORBES: Hurricane Sandy Demonstrates Need For Off Grid Hybrid Generators
Most likely, though, the fuel should burn up or vaporize.
FORBES: Failed Russian Probe Phobos-Grunt Will Fall To Earth This Weekend
When a supergiant finally goes bang it produces a massive burst of gamma rays and that burst lasts much longer because the supergiant is so big and there's much more fuel to burn through.
BBC: NASA's Swift satellite observes massive supernova stars
It's their reward for building these alternative-fuel vehicles, even though the vehicles themselves rarely actually burn alternative fuel.
His conclusion is radical: Shift from oil to such alternatives as fuel cells that burn hydrogen.
These so-called flex-fuel vehicles can burn either gasoline or ethanol or almost any mixture of the two.
These cars can burn fuel that is 85 percent ethanol and the companies are putting more of them on the market.
The X-43A, or "Hyper-X" was built specifically to test scramjets, or supersonic ramjets, which burn fuel in air travelling at supersonic speeds.
It would work by using the neutrons from fusion to help turn nuclear waste into nuclear fuel and then burn it until almost none is left.
Second, nuclear reactors can only be run above maximum capacity for a short period before they begin experiencing complications, so each region maintains backup facilities to burn fuel oil or natural gas at peak periods or for when the nuclear reactors are offline.
Last year, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs decided that the link between air-borne dioxin (an ingredient in Agent Orange, and also a common air-borne pollutant emitted by waste incineration, some chemical manufacturing processes, cars and trucks, and other industrial sources that burn fuel) and diabetes was so strong, it compensated 270, 000 veterans for diabetes linked to dioxin exposure.
FORBES: Two New Reasons to Worry about Air Pollution: Obesity and Diabetes
And he carried out an election pledge to cut value-added tax on domestic fuel from 8% to 5%, which may help pensioners but will also help everyone else to burn more fuel.
Though it sounds bizarre, mixing water into the fuel helps it to burn better.
Attempts to burn its fuel oil failed, even causing it to break in two.
But the statistics offer little cheer to a government trying to persuade its citizens to burn less fuel.
The only way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to burn less fuel.
