question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much fuel is consumed in an average half-hour flight in a Typhoon; and how much that fuel costs.
tabling member constituency	Warwick and Leamington
tabling member printed	Matt Western
uin	137887
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2023 answer text <p>Fuel usage and costs are not recorded on a per hour or per flight basis. Actual fuel usage is dependent upon a wide range of variables including aircraft weight, sortie type and length, weather and power use. Fuel costs also vary greatly dependent on the source of the fuel and more than one method of fuelling can be used for any given flight hour. For example, baseline fuels costs will vastly differ between Ministry of Defence (MOD) bulk fuel contracts, or commercial rates with fuel suppliers when visiting non-MOD aerodromes, or receiving Air-to-Air Refuelling support from RAF tanker aircraft and those of Partner Nations.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 09/02/2023 10:38:13 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk
