A Mathematical Model for the Analysis of Jet Engine Fuel Consumption during Aircraft Cruise

In this paper we propose a mathematical model for the fuel consumption analysis during aircraft cruise. A closed-form formula that expresses the aircraft’s weight variation over time, and hence, the fuel flow rate, is obtained as a result. Furthermore, a closed-form expression of the aircraft’s main...
