Flight
Aircraft Performance Calculator
Produce a rough estimate of an aircraft's range from fuel quantity, cruise altitude, outside air temperature, gross weight, and aircraft category. A back-of-the-envelope sanity check, not a replacement for a flight-planning system.

Flight
Aircraft Fuel Consumption Calculator
Estimate total aircraft fuel usage and fuel cost for a flight given distance, aircraft size, fuel price, and passenger load factor. Useful for pilots, operators, and aviation students planning flight budgets.
