Re:Plasma wings could change the way airplanes are designed ... by notlefthanded on Saturday August 27, 2016 @04:07AM (#12371513)
Interesting point, sfc (specific fuel consumption) is only really density altitude and humidity dependant, since it's only calculated on a per engine basis, but a fixed wing aeroplane's range can be greatly affected by the weight and balance of the plane, ie whether the elevators need to be adding upward or downward pressure to the tail section to maintain a cruise attitude
