It's simply for my own interest. with fuel costs as high as they are and airlines and their employees trying to do their part in conservation of it' i'd be interested to know how much can be saved in using idle reverse rather than full reverse on landing on these two types of aircraft.

i specifically chose these two types as larger 2 and 4 engined aircraft on the current market, as i assumed they would tend to possibly use more fuel than other, smaller types. ie A320.

Also, i fail to see how this question is odd in anyway as this is a furom for discussions on this matter isn't it???

And how my level of knowledge comes into it i fail to see why this would matter...simple question, how much fuel would be used, theoretically...

so if anyone can be kind enough to answer my question the best they can i'd appriciate it.
