Airplanes use varying amounts of fuel depending on their size, type, and distance traveled. On average, a commercial jet consumes about 3 to 5 gallons of fuel per mile. For example, a Boeing 747 can burn approximately 10 to 11 tons of fuel per hour during flight. Overall, fuel efficiency is measured in terms of gallons per passenger-mile, with modern aircraft designed to optimize fuel use.
