proto is an unknown quantity at this point
Dear Walter

you're talking physics. Very good. I am sorry, our T337 is still not ready - SO WE MAKE ESTIMATIONS !

I just tell you that a Conti - Engine takes a minimum fuel of about 4 gal / hour in IDLE (NO THRUST). If you fly with one engine, you save this amount of fuel at least!!

There is no problem to maintain this bird in the air with one engine. I think, we can even fly with 14 gal/hour (LOP) with one engine at FL 120. Speed > 120 KTAS..

In that cas we can fly nearly 1200 nm without a ferry tank and reserve, since we have the 4 tanks. This distance will be ok for our mission.

What do you think ?
