How much fuel in kg is required in jet engine


An Airbus 310A with a mass of 140,000 kg sits on a runway. It takes off and flies to an altitude of 10500 m with a speed of 850 km/hr. Drag (friction) is on the order of 9.7x104 N and the efficiency of a jet engine is roughly 30%. It takes an airbus roughly 75 seconds to get to that altitude and during that time it covers 17.5 km. If aviation fuel provides 43 MJ of energy per kg, how much fuel in kg is required?
