Hi
The http://www.airpower.at/flugzeuge/eurofighter/daten.htm site states
the Typhoon can cruise at 1500m at Mach .9 and uses 85Kg of fuel per
minute.
Now the SFC has been stated 23g/kN.s. With reheat 49g/kN.s
Now from this I have scribble together the thrust needed to fly the
the above speed as about 61KN...
(about half the power available)
Have I got it right??... How does this compare to its peers
What else could you estimate from the figures? assuming the 85Kg per
min is accurate..
Cheers
