Aircraft Fuel Calculator

Aviation fuel consumption calculator online to determine the fuel (Aviation Gasoline or Jet A) requirements for a flight. Enter fuel values in gallons and the aircraft fuel calculator will update you with the aviation fuel consumption based on the inputs. Avgas (100-130 or 100-130LL) weight is calculated at 6 pounds per gallon; Jet A (jet fuel) at 6.84 pounds per gallon. The default safety margin is zero (0); be sure to include a good margin of time.

A aircraft like a Boeing 747 uses approximately 1 gallon of fuel (about 4 liters) every second. Over the course of a 10-hour flight, it might burn 36,000 gallons (150,000 liters). According to Boeing's Web site, the 747 burns approximately 5 gallons of fuel per mile (12 liters per kilometer). Calculate the aviation fuel consumption using this aircraft fuel calculator.
