how much does an E175 burn an hour?

just looking for an estimate, thanks

 

[flyboyike]

A lot.

 

[CoAlpha]

more than advertised

just looking for a simple answer not a witty response.

 

[Capi_Cafre']

This much.

 

[Jack-O-Lantern]

Why do you need to know?

 

[svcta]

This is an all-time low.

 

[taylor01]

Why do you need to know?

prelim. stages of writing a business plan for a start up airline to pitch to investors, was hoping for someone that actually flies the airplane to give me their two cents to what they think the actual fuel burn per hour is on the aircraft. Just wanted a real basic number to throw into a model

 

[svcta]

This ought to get interesting now..............DUCK!

Listen i flew for Trans States for two years and got just as sh@@ on by management as anyone else in this forum. I left there and went to business school after realizing, just as everyone else has, that this profession is not what it once was or ever will be again. I have spent the last two years as an aerospace analyst for an investment bank and have learned more about the aerospace/airline industry than i ever could have flying the line.

You should be happy to hear that a former waterskier wants to start an airline because i know what it's like to be way under paid with a poor qol.

Comments?

OK, not the EMB, but the DC( , which it replaces at NWA burns appx, 6000 to 4400 at FL350...(but the Diesel 9 carries 100pax -30 with 12 FC, to 125 -50 with 16 FC. I think the Boeing website says the -30 is a 120 pax, and -50 is 140 pax with all economy seating.....

Thanks, i appreciate the real response.

Every other kid in a MBA program thinks he is going to start an airline. Even during my BS business admin classes the profs used airlines for most examples.

Just wanted you to know how pathetic it sounds to hear someone say "I'm starting an airline"... unless your dad is a billionare and then it's 'here we go again!'

 

[shamrock]

What's really pathetic is that nobody can give him a straight answer to a fairly simple question.

 

[Choppy]

Now I remember why this forum sucks so bad!

 

[Prop Trash]

Can someone give the guy an answer? It's a pretty simple question. I'm not starting an airline, just curious as well.

 

[byrmar]

I'm curious also. There's got to be a 175 driver passing through.

I don't know EMB, but the CRJ-700 really depends on altitude. At cruise on a long leg, say F350 or so, (the higher the less fuel burn) even at almost max cruise (doing about M.82 or better) it's buring around 1700-1900lbs/hr per side. However low it burns a LOT more. If you pull it back it gets a bunch lower.
I say all this to say... What kind of burns are you asking for?

 

[A350]

The E190 burns 6K the first hour and 4K every hour after that. Burns @2200/engine initially and dropping to @ 1800/engine at FL380-FL410 weight dependent.

Figure 15% less for the E175 as it is lighter.

Two main line jobs per hour.

 

[WMUSIGPI]

It's really about as amazing that this has gone well into the second page without a simple answer to the guys question.... You all must be working in crew planning and or scheduling....

 

[Jack-O-Lantern]

Just a crazy idea that came to me! Don't you think if you were starting an airline which I know is such a simple and mindless task, that you might consider being in touch with the manufacturer about some numbers pertaining to the aircraft you might be interested in? Hmmmmmm just a crazy thought.
Reminds me of a saying, " If you have to ask how much it is, you cant afford it"

Now, this is my kind of post...hot dog eating contests, smart-ass responses. All we need to do now is talk about Mesa's windbreakers.

I don't care who you work that was funny!

The CRJ700 burns about 5000lbs the first hr, 4000lbs the second hr and 3300lbs the third hr.

Same as the E170...

Rule of thumb...5200 lbs/hr for the 1st hour. 4000lbs/hr for the remaining flight time. That will ball park your fuel planning on the fat side. Its actually less, but the ROT works for sizing up your flight time/fuel burn.

Flight level 350 is approximately 3200-3400 lbs per hour at .78 Mach. Yes, that is both engines.

[LearLove]

5200 the first hour??? I trust you and all but I was thinking more along the lines of 4500 first hour and 4000 there after. Atleast thats what they told us to go by un upgrade.

Personally I like 5000 first hour then 4000 after.

So you got smart? Now you'll be the one making the big bucks and under paying the pilots as well as poor qol.

 

[Flying Illini]

I routinely see 1700-1900 per hour at cruise in the mid 30's (33-37) at .78mach.

If you slow, you can really just sip fuel. Slowed to .74 for a flight to IAH and we wound up 10 minutes later but 600lbs fatter after 2 hours of .74.
