wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 12-12- 06:51 PM according to the book.... engSFC is measured in Lbs/BHP/hour or, to put it another way, if the engine has 1000 bhp and burns 100 lbs of fuel per hour, then it's SFC is 0.1.....I think.... What I don't understand is why a plane should cause the problems you have been experiencing when it runs out of fuel. Surely the engine should just stop? IP: Logged
