In an aircraft flight test envelope evaluation, test flight A consumed $1400\text{ kg}$ of fuel over $2.5\text{ hours}$, while test flight B consumed $2250\text{ kg}$ over $3.0\text{ hours}$. By what percentage is the hourly fuel consumption rate of flight B greater than that of flight A?

Answer Key:
33.93

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

### Solution: Rate A = $1400 / 2.5 = 560\text{ kg/h}$. Rate B = $2250 / 3.0 = 750\text{ kg/h}$. Percentage increase = $\frac{750 - 560}{560} \times 100\% = \frac{190}{560} \times 100\% \approx 33.93\%$. Correct: 33.93 (range 33.5 to 34.5).
