Hi JFC,Thanks a lot, that's a very interesting diagram!It's worth noting that the values used for range calculation assume a consumption of about 94 imperial gallons per hour for "action" and patrolling at 310 mph, while the Pilot's Notes for the type state it consumes 115 imperial gallons per hour at maximum cruise power (rich), and 151 imperial gallons per hour at "all-out level", which probably would be the preferred power setting for combat.The Pilot's Notes might include a safety margin in their consumption figures, but I guess you'd want to have that same safety margin in your range and endurance calculations when assessing the tactical suitability of the type ...Regards,Henning (HoHun)
