How many tons or litres does an Aircraft use per hour? Of course this will depend on the aircraft and many other factors such as altitude etc., so to make it easy lets say a boeing 737 cruising at 30 000 ft (PS: I am not looking for any exact number, I would just like to know more or less)

If anyone has any calculation method or a list or any link etc. which can provide me this information then please post it as well! thanks in advance guys

There's some information here:

It doesn't only relate to Concorde, despite what the link would suggest.

Oh, I should add that the above is a student worksheet - as far as I can tell it includes all the formula you'd need to fill in the blanks, but I can't be sure.

😕

You're very welcome. 🙂

It may be worth checking out the links at the bottom of that page - they are to the FAA. I haven't, as I fear they could be tedious, but if you really want/need to know about this stuff you could give them a go.
