Refueling

General Information
Aircraft use fuel. Aircraft use LOTS of fuel. Therefore, after each mission or sortie, X-COM aircraft must be refueled in their Hangars before being sent back out. Craft refuel at different speeds, and receive a set amount of fuel (50 fuel units) every half hour, on the half hour. Refueling is the second phase an interception craft will go through upon returning to base.
Conventional craft refuel 50 units of fuel per half hour. Hybrid craft refuel 5 units of Elerium per half hour.
| Aircraft | Fuel | Type | Refueling rate* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skyranger | 1500 | Normal | 3.33% |
| Interceptor | 1000 | Normal | 5% |
| Firestorm | 20 | Elerium-115 | 25% |
| Lightning | 30 | Elerium-115 | 16.67% |
| Avenger | 60 | Elerium-115 | 8.33% |
* Decimals are not displayed; instead, the craft will fuel in a sequence that accounts for the decimal. As a working example, the Skyranger fuels at 3%, 3%, 4%.
