DC-8-60 and -70 fuel flow

Posted by sombranegra79 on 05 January 2012 - 04:11 AM

The DC-8-72 and -73 both have a fuel flow of 38,576 while the -62 and -63 have fuel flow figures of 36,720 and 39,520 respectively. This doesn't seem to make sense as, according to this source, the JT3D-7 engine used on the -62 and -63 has a specific fuel consumption of 0.520, while the CFM56 used on the -72 and -73 has an SFC of 0.350. The -72 and -73 should therefore have far lower fuel consumption, I think. :S

Checked and corrected - Thanks
