What about wind? If Vbr is equal to the headwind component, range will be
zero. With one hour fuel. Vbr + 1 will give you a range of a mile. The
faster you go, the more range. At some speed though, increase in fuel
consumption offsets the gain.

Could you give us a simple and usable formula for the Skyhawk in your
example?
