The report gives methods of estimating the cruise air range of propeller-driven aircraft and to provide guidance in assessing the conditions in which maximum specific range may be obtained. It enables the estimation of the cruise air range of an aircraft for various cruise techniques and initial cruise conditions. The methods apply to all piston and turbo-prop engined aircraft cruising in still air at constant true airspeed, or height or engine setting.
