With an overall ratio of \( 0.809 \) and a six per cent allowance for reserves and trapped fuel, the fuel fraction is nearest to

  • A.0.191
  • B.0.240
  • C.0.169
  • D.0.202

Answer: D

Correct answer: 0.202

The fuel actually burned is \( 1 - 0.809 = 0.191 \) of the take-off weight. Reserves, diversion allowance and unpumpable fuel are not part of the mission, so the figure must be increased: \[ 1.06 \times 0.191 = 0.202. \] Taking 0.191 as the answer is the trap, and in a real design it would size the tanks too small to be certified.
