F = \dot{f} \times t

Total fuel needed is the fuel-burn rate multiplied by flight time.

PNR = \dfrac{E \cdot GS_{out} \cdot GS_{back}}{GS_{out}+GS_{back}}

Farthest distance an aircraft can fly and still return with available endurance.

E = \dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{L}{D}\ln\dfrac{W_i}{W_f}

Longest time aloft for a jet, maximized at maximum L/D.

E = \frac{\text{fuel}}{\text{fuel flow}}

Time an aircraft can stay airborne.
