Minimum consumption of fuel in airplane for given number of miles is primary factor and not weight of engine; speed at minimum drag; reciprocal relations of aerodynamic values; influence of decreasing weight of fuel during flight; variation of long-distance-flight conditions with altitude; influence of decreasing load of fuel on altitude of flight. (see also Flight, vol. 21, no. 17, Apr. 25, 1929 (Aircraft Engineer Sec.), pp. 28-33, 5 figs)
