Default Jet turbine reliability



That's close to what I came up with when investigating for a single seater. You would probably want to carry at least 15 gallons of fuel for the single. Interestingly, when you throw in oil and anti-static, the runtime cost are quite high. You end up finding how economical the old fashioned internal combustion self launch really is. It accomplishes quite a lot with 4 or 5 gallons.


So in the case of the M&D/JS-1, is it correct to assume the preferred fuel is Jet A? To Jet A, what specific oil and anti-static are added and what is the added ratio?
