Fuel efficient freight planes
Hi all.
Looked around a bit for fuel efficient (big, commercial) airplanes. The best ones I found were the Tupolev TU-330 and the Antonov AN-70. They had cruising speeds/fuel consumption of 780-850 km/h and 118-125 g/t-km. Now my question: would lowering the cruising speed to e.g. 300-400 km/h make them more efficient? Thanks, Jonas
