Helicopter Fuel Consumption Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Helicopter Fuel Consumption (HFC) is:

\[ HFC = \frac{MF}{FU} \]

Where:

\(HFC\) is the Helicopter Fuel Consumption (miles per gallon)
\(MF\) is the total miles flown
\(FU\) is the total fuel used (gallons)

What is Helicopter Fuel Consumption?

Helicopter Fuel Consumption (HFC) refers to the efficiency of a helicopter in terms of fuel usage. It is measured in miles per gallon and indicates how many miles a helicopter can fly using one gallon of fuel.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Miles Flown (MF) = 300 miles
Total Fuel Used (FU) = 50 gallons

Using the formula:

\[ HFC = \frac{300}{50} = 6 \, \text{miles per gallon} \]

The Helicopter Fuel Consumption is 6 miles per gallon.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Miles Flown (MF) = 450 miles
Total Fuel Used (FU) = 75 gallons

Using the formula:

\[ HFC = \frac{450}{75} = 6 \, \text{miles per gallon} \]

The Helicopter Fuel Consumption is 6 miles per gallon.
