Please thank Boeing for the last paragraph, that " TSFC rises..."

This helps to explain why I had so much fuel left in the Port fuel tank of my Rapide after flying around Blackpool for more than a couple of hours, in the dark ( and ignorance ) in 1951 !

(See the thread " Fuel Economy a Pilot's Reward" #51 9th May )

It worked on twin engined biplanes of the 1930s, too.
