How much fuel does a small turbo prop burn on takeoff and climb?
Hi all, my first post here 
I am doing some research into electric regional aircraft and I was wondering if you could give me a hint of how much small aircraft such as a Caravan would burn on taxi, takeoff and until it reaches cruise. (let's assume full load)
I read that a B737 can burn up to 20% of its fuel if it's a short sector, but there is no such info online about smaller aircraft.
Since aircraft such as a 208 and similar make many short flights, it would be interesting to know how much fuel is spent on takeoff and climb.
Thanks for the info!

In the Kingair 200 I planned on 800lb for the 1st hour, and 600lb for each hour after that. It was actually a bit less but they were easy, slightly conservative numbers to deal with. Kingair 90 was about 500 or 550 for the 1st hour and 450-ish for subsequents. Can't remember for the C208. Something like 400 then 350 lb. Or maybe it was 350/300 lb. Been a while.
