We are not sure," Veleck said, "but unless the damage can be repaired, the engine will consume itself in a matter of hours.

While thermodynamically very sound, the real engine is too large and consumes too much power to ever fly on an aircraft.

Fuel is needed if you want to stay in the air because the Epical engines consume fuel at an alarming rate.

After 24 hours they realized that the engine was consuming 10 L of fuel per hour more than expected, an excess of about 0.6% .

The engine consume fuel from gas and metan.

The engines consume around 450 l (15.9 ft) of air per second.

It now gives a clear warning if more fuel is being lost than the engines can consume.

Larger engines can consume more fuel, and in some cases, they could also mean higher insurance premiums.

The new engines consume less fuel than older models and are cheaper to maintain.

The new engines will reportedly consume 35% less fuel than the pre-2013 engine formula.
