Sorry for all of my questions - just getting more and more curious about how our CF34s operate, and want to organize my thoughts.
What primary factors cause increased fuel efficiency at altitude? Is it more than lower turbine temperatures and leaner fuel/air ratios? Any other penalties aside from a loss in thrust?
The general consensus is that FL270 will yield the highest TAS, and anything above that will yield better fuel savings... does everyone agree?
Thanks!
