This increased fuel consumption offsets somewhat the savings in oxidizer mass ; these losses are in turn offset by the higher Isp ( Specific impulse ) of the air-breathing engine.

Specific fuel consumption of air-breathing jet engines at their maximum efficiency vary more or less inversely with speed, which in turn means that the fuel consumption per mile or km can be a more appropriate comparison metric for aircraft that travel at very different speeds.

Specific impulse ( Isp ) measures how much thrust can be derived from a given mass of fuel, and is a standard figure of merit for rocketry.

* Specific fuel consumption: ~ 190 g / kWh

# Specific fuel consumption is high because of heat loss due to large exposed areas and pressure loss due to air motion through the throats.
