what you need is some printouts

Title says it all. I'm a Boeing person, medium and the smaller heavies.

Drop me a line. These short squat boxes can't do justice to data.

B777 at M0.84 CL=0.500 L/D = 19.26 @ F330
B767 at M0.80 CL=0.500 L/D = 18.34 @ F330
B737-800 at M0.78 CL=0.500 L/D = 17.26 @ F330
B737-400 at M0.74 CL=0.500 L/D = 15.52 @ F330

But with all the variables that kick in, these spot values on their own are might I suggest, close to meaningless. What they burn, what payload they are carrying under certain conditions and how much you still have to pay in bank loans means a lot more.

But you're welcome.
