So I was reading through my copy of the T-34 limitations, and it says that normal operation burns 335 lbs/hr. Holy hell, that seems like a lot! Is this thing right, or do I have bad info?

What is normal fuel flow on some other airframes?

Also, if this info is wrong, does anyone know where I can get some good info on the T-34? Thanks a million!

6000 lbs an hour low level for a Herk. 335 doesn't sound too unbelieveable.

It's been a while since I flew the turbo-weenie, but that sounds about right. Is that gouge, or out of the NATOPS?

The C-21 burns about 1700-1800 lbs/hr on average.

I think I found it in gouge, it doesn't look like anything official.

Max AB during low level or at T/O 290,000 - 325,000 lbs/hr. Normal flight is between 16,000 - 22,000 lbs/hr depending on GW.

Check over at www.airwarriors.com. They should have the info you're looking for.

290,000-325,000 lbs! That's just plain ludicrous

FNG, 335 per hour is correct for max power in the T-34, 125 lb/hr at idle. If you have anymore questions about the T-34 feel free to ask but do it quick. I had my last flight last night and am in the process of performing a beer assisted brain dump.

Dude

For the 17 we figure on 20K the first hour, 15-18K after that.

It depends on how much gas your plane holds. I've never flown the turbo weenie so I have no clue. But compared to planes like the Tweet, that burn rate is awesome.

3000 pph on the mighty T-39N on a low level, about 2200 pph at altitude

FNG,

That is correct...verify with Chapter four in NATOPS for any further limitations questions

Search function for T-34 comes up with a lot of info on the ol Turbomentor. A good website for T-1/T-34 suff is www.dansdiversion.com
