The range of a jet powered aircraft is derived. Specific fuel consumption of a jet engine is used to derive the range formula after making assumptions about steady level cruise flight. The fact that jet planes need to fly at very high altitude is explained using the range equation derived. The formulas for propeller and jet aircraft for range and endurance are summarized and discussed at the end of the video.
