Sea Harrier range/fuel/endurance
Request some clarification on Sea Harrier fuel burn/endurance. Fully understand the variances of throttle setting, altitude, stores, etc. but looking for some general figures:
Best endurance speed?
Total Flight time with 120 US gallon tanks? With 225 gallon tanks? I recall sources stating that an FRS.1 could do 1.5 hour loiter some 150 miles from mother, but is that optomistic? Seems longish FRS.1 Falkland Island sorties seldom excceded 90 total minutes.
Fuel burn rates. PPM at cruise?
