The A330 is equipped with this feature to get better performance, in terms of fuel consumption as well as range. The A330 has the onboard flight computer to auto shift the fuel from the main tank to the tail tank (on horizontal stabilizer). The make the CG shifting backward to reduce the tail-down force.
Endurance? Range?
Range is affected by: fuel on board fuel flow (how fast the fuel is burnt)! Fuel flow increase (i.e burn more fuel) –> range will reduce. Range can be said as the distance the aircraft can go per unit of fuel ( Distance NM/ Fuel kg) Range can be translated into specific range
Cost Index (CI)
Also take reference: https://skybrary.aero/articles/cost-index http://www.boeing.ch/commercial/aeromagazine/articles/qtr_02_10/pdfs/AERO_FuelConsSeries.pdf Cost Index is the ratio of all costs other than fuel and the fuel costs.
