Jet fuel and range.

[Morphix]

Well here I am its 2.30am and I often find my self wikipedia'ing random things this time it was the A 380.

After reading about the aircraft and specs I'm very curious to know how much fuel it would use, in litres per minute, second, hour or/1000kms. HOw ever to work this out things like payload and wind conditions ect need to be worked out.

I can't quite figure how to calculate it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A380

   * Flight crew: 2
   * Capacity: 555 in 3 classes or 850 passengers in 1 class, with up to 66.4 tonnes (146,400 lb) of cargo in 38 LD3s or 13 pallets
         o 152.4 tonnes (336,000 lb) of cargo (158 t option)
   * Powerplant: 4

You need more engine data...

There are no fixed number for fuel usage, because like you said winds and weight are a very determing factor, but far away the only one.
The engine de-rate, current cost index selected, temperature etc...
Simply too much just to give you a concrete answer.

But the 747-400 roughly consumes 10-11mt's/h, so I suggest the A380 would land around that area aswell.

I don't have the recent JET-A price, but a few weeks ago you got 1mt for roughly 700$

mt= metric ton (1000kg)
