On a cross country to South Carolina and back was a good time to observe the fuel burn and average it for AR-1 912ULS powered gyroplane with 2 people and some luggage for 2 people to spend a weekend there. Basically close to gross weight.
It seems that AR1 powered by 912ULS burned 4.1 GPH at 75 knots cruise. It has a fuel tank with useable fuel capacity of 16.8 gallons (US gallons). That would mean with 30 minute reserve, making it able to fly 3.5 hours with reserve at cruise near gross weight.
Any MTO, Calidus or Tagna owners confirm if they get similar numbers at gross? Appreciate the info.
