how much does an E175 burn an hour?

[taylor01]

just looking for an estimate, thanks

 

[flyboyike]

A lot.

 

[CoAlpha]

more than advertised

[Capi_Cafre']

This much.

Why do you need to know?

 

[svcta]

This is an all-time low.

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

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.....

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.
