1.5 Mil for a RV-8
 
http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2009...Challenge.html

Theoretical math question for all you number crunchers. If a RV8 weighed zero, the HP required to maintain 100 mph based on zero induced drag would be________

_______hp x .4 / 6.02 = gal/hour


Could a RV8 win if it weighed zero?__________

If yes, more than zero? ___________

How much could it weigh?___________
