An Evaluation of U.S. Air Force Aviation Fuel Consumption Factors to Accurately Predict Aviation Fuel Costs by Aircraft Mission Design and Series

<p>The purpose of this research was to evaluate the ability of Air Force published fuel factors to accurately predict the cost of aviation fuel (AVFUEL) for United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) aircraft. The Fuels Automated Management and<br>Accounting System (FAMS) was implemented in 1994 and provides detailed information concerning gallons consumed by tail number for all aircraft in the Air Force inventory. Cost factors developed since 1994 use FAMS as the primary data source. The research objective was to assess how accurately aviation fuel factors based on FAMS data predicted actual fuel costs for USAFE aircraft.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
