The relationship between Thrust, Fuel flow, Airspeed, RPM, Altitude, ambient pressure
Hi,
Does anyone have a clear explanation to understand the logic behind the answers to the 3 following questions (JAA ATPL exam, FlyAround):
Question 1 :
At constant thrust and constant altitude the fuel flow of a jet engine:
Answer: increases slightly with increasing airspeed.
Question 2 :
At a constant Mach number the thrust and the fuel flow of a jet engine:
Answer: decreases in proportion to the ambient pressure at constant Temperature.
Question 3 :
The thrust of a jet engine at constant RPM :
Answer: increases in proportion to airspeed
Thank you for your help,
Emmanuel Cordier.
