What is the fuel consumption of a Mosquito helicopter?
The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 135 kg (298 lb) and a gross weight of 280 kg (617 lb), giving a useful load of 145 kg (320 lb). With full fuel of 45 litres (9. US gal) the payload for the pilot and baggage is 112 kg (247 lb). The fully-loaded 40-foot-long container weighs over 30 tons (67,200 pounds). For a regular helicopter, lifting it is simply impossible: the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk has a maximum cargo capacity of 1,200 kilograms (2,640 lb); the Mil Mi-8, a considerably heavier helicopter, can barely lift 4,000 kg (8,800 lb).
