yeah sounds good til you end up with another 50kt of headwind for the next 2hr because your 30deg ‘shortcut’ wasn’t well researchedThat is significant.
737/320 family. 6,000lbs/hr (let’s just assume, depends on variant, etc).
That’s 100 lbs fuel per minute.
30 seconds is 50 lbs fuel.
6.76 lbs/gallon
That 30 second shortcut saved 7.4 gallons
That is significant. One flight. Now imagine thousands per day, then per month, then per year. I’ll take 30 second savings all day long.
miles per gallon son
