ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for indicating fuel efficiency in an aircraft. The apparatus includes a processor having a plurality of inputs, wherein the inputs include a ground speed input for receiving ground speed data signals and a fuel flow input for receiving fuel flow data signals. A display is connected to the processor. Generation means for determining a fuel efficiency number from ground speed data signals and fuel flow data signals is included and a display means is employed to generate a fuel efficiency signal for displaying the fuel efficiency number on the display.
