The fuel burn of any aircraft varies according to aircraft configuration, type and number of engines, weight, altitude, etc., but a "rough" average hourly burn for "jumbo jets" (Large, heavy, four engines) would probably be in the 20,000 + lbs per hour range. (3000-3500 gal/hr) By contrast, a fuel efficient 767 with only two engines can burn in the range of 10,000 pounds per hour or less. A typical 5+30 flight from Seattle to Hawaii in a 767 will use around 50,000 pounds of fuel. (Jet fuel, depending on temperature, is usually calculated at about 6.7 pounds per gallon.)

How many miles per gallon does a jumbo jet use?

I Don't Know About Any Jumbo-Jet, But A Boeing 747 burns around 1 gallon (4 litres) of fuel every second. That's about an eighth of a mile per gallon. (Based on a plane going 500mph (800kph), travelling 8.33 miles per minute.)


Why do you think fuel is stored in a jumbo jet's wings?

Fuel is stored in a jumbo jet's wings primarily to optimize the aircraft's weight distribution and structural integrity. By placing the fuel in the wings, the aircraft can achieve a more balanced center of gravity, enhancing stability and performance during flight. Additionally, the wings are designed to accommodate the fuel's weight, allowing for a more efficient use of space and reducing the need for additional fuel tanks elsewhere in the aircraft. This design also helps in minimizing the overall drag and improves aerodynamic efficiency.

Do helicopters use jet fuel?

The type of fuel is specific to the type of engine, not the aircraft. Helicopters that have jet engines use jet fuel, and helicopters that have internal combustion engines use gasoline. However the General Electric T-58 had a device in the fuel control that allowed you to burn just about anything from avgas to jet fuel to kerosene.
