Actually, you can specify the consumption directly only litres of kerosene per hour.

Only the whole is very strong when one considers that there are more than 500 passengers in an Airbus 380 and travelled over 900 kmh within 1 hour.

If you convert the whole to 100 kilometers per passenger, you get to values of 3-5 litres per 100 kilometers. This is even cheaper than a car only with an inmate.

The crus is how many people fly in such a car or plane. a fully equipped car with 5 occupants even has a herrvorangede oil balance.

Airbus counted the A380 times with 3.3 liters per passenger and 100 kilometers. But this only works if the seating is designed to maximum, which does not happen in practice, as most airlines want more comfort for the passengers. In addition, the aircraft must really be fully booked to the last place, because the consumption remains the same, no matter how many passengers are sitting in it.

Now, if you’re counting 5 passengers per 100 kilometres of 3.3 litres, that’s 16.5 litres of kerosene. Even the oldest car would be much cheaper when it is fully occupied.

There is no limit to how much kerosene can consume an aircraft. However, the airlines attach great importance to using aircraft with little kerosene consumption. That is why there are different aircraft, depending on which routes you fly. Such an A380 is worthwhile only from a certain minimum distance, since much more kerosene is consumed when starting and landing than at travel altitude. You have to get the enormous weight first and it costs a lot of fuel.

But the A380 is slowly re-designed, as much cheaper machines are on the market. The time of the four-jet passenger aircraft is currently over.

3,685 liter/Pax and 15,000 km. What a strange question – well, internet forum stop. An A380 (or any other aircraft) may consume as much as the engine manufacturer specifies and what quantity is necessary for safe flight.

Since when have cars been given a prescribed maximum consumption?

On the other hand, a new jet engine consumes about 20 percent less than the previous model. What’s bad about it?

This has nothing to do with “may”.

For cars not, but for their engines there are minimum and maximum consumption values which result from the engine construction.

Yes of course for the engines and not for the cars themselves. You can’t think as complicated as some people do here. And minimum/maximum are technically conditioned, but not by a rule.

Do not make any sense to prescribe a minimum by law and a maximum is available for each motor; such a dinosaur of the road consumes more than a small car.

There are no maximums and no need. The machines are trimmed for efficiency, and that the A380 is no longer built, it is due to the fact that only two-jet machines are now set. B747 will die like that. Jumbo, bye.

So as far as ivh knows, a car should swallow as much liter of gasoline as it wants, but do not emit as many pollutants as it wants.
