Talk:Pipistrel Alpha Trainer

range / speed
From the article: Those numbers don't seem consistent: 13 gal / (2.5 gal/hr) = 5.2 hours 373 mi / (124 mph) = 3.0 hours Why? NCdave (talk) 21:42, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The fuel consumption is projected to be 2.5 US gallons per hour
 * Fuel capacity: 13 U.S. gallons
 * Cruise speed: ... 124 mph
 * Range: ... 373 mi


 * I have clarified from the ref that the claimed 2.5 US gal/h is when doing training circuits. The Rotax 912 burns more than that when flying cross country, closer to the 4.3 US gal/h that the math points to. - Ahunt (talk) 21:50, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
