I disagree.
The process of consuming can be fast or slow. A Cessna can consume a ton of fuel, as can a jumbo. Either way a ton has been consumed.
No you don't
You still use other words (consuming, consumed) than "Consumption".
We are just arguing semantics, but there is nothing in the verb "To comsume" that imlplies a rate.
Again correct, but "
TO consume" (verb) is not the same word as "
THE consumption" (noun). E.g. "
THE consumption is high on the left engine, look at that fuel flow it's up to 3 tons
per hour".
The semantics of an official critical document should be correct.
Maybe Ole did mean Max Range, but want he wrote (based on that very document) could easily be misunderstood as Max Endurance. That is why such a document should be wrote in an unambiguous manner.
