Analysis of two Methods for Aircraft Fuel Requirement Calculations in the Context of a novel Methodological Framework for LCA of Sustainable Aviation

This Microsoft Excel file contains equations to compare different approaches to calculate fuel efficiency ("energy use" in [MJ/t*km]) of aircraft over a specific distance at a specific payload. Two approaches are compared: A novel approach by Su-ungkavatin et al. and the more established approach well documented by eg. Burzlaff or Ackert. This work augments a Letter to the Editor we submitted to the journal Science of the Total Environment.
