Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Fuel Burn

You can't cruse a 747 at 70 MPH but it works good with a Luscomb and low fuel burn so I think you could 2.5 GPH with a rotex. And don't forget that lainar flow wing it will have much lower drag.

or....

The only way to get any Aircraft engine to burn 2.5 GPH at cruise,
is to select a cruise speed at which 2.5 GPH is burned.

Yes... looks right to me. ;-)

PS:
I'm starting to think the expression "cruise speed" could be vague.
Also the expressions "normal" and "average" and "low RPM" and "low speed" and "Rotax".
