plane range and fuel use in RSS

[Ninadragonborn]

i have done some calculation in RSS 

not just calculation i have done a real flight and find out how much fuel it will take to reach far

what i found is this

first i am playing in RSS

i am using 135 mod but none of them change the atmospheric characterize of RSS atmosphere

i used 2 j-33 wheesley turbofan engine

and here is what was the plane and how far did it go

plane take off mass : 15351 kg

fuel mass : 9470 kg

speed during flight between 230-250 m/s

flight altitude : 13000 m

Delta V : 98883 m/s

range covered : 7200 km

flight time ( not sure its Exactly right number i have forgotten to write the time of flight but i think ) : 5h and 55 minutes or 6h one of this is right number

so for an efficient flight you need to get above the 10km and you need your speed between 230 and 250 m/s (830 km/h - 900 km/h ) of course you can go slower and reduce the fuel use and cover more distance but it will take a while and more time you will need to reach your destination

i have tried to done this like commercial airline and this is how they do most of the time in long range flight

i hope this date could be useful for people playing in RSS and thanks first to Squad for this amazing game

and second to all people who designed and created this amazing mod to make game so much like real world

have good time in ksp
