In cruise where lift = weight and thrust = drag, T/W = 1 / [L/D], meaning that the high value of L/D that is needed for a large range goes hand in hand with a low thrust-to-weight ratio.

How sensitive is the maximum range for the Cessna 182 to aspect ratio and the Oswald efficiency factor, i.e. 13.16 (Reference Figure 14.10) What airspeed should you fly if you wish to fly a standard rate turn using 30 degrees of bank? 13.3 (Reference Figure 5.4) What speed is indicated at point A? One of these items is ________________. 1.21 Newton's Second Law of Motion states that: If a body is acted on by an unbalanced force, the body will accelerate in the direction of the force and the acceleration will be directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body. 3.9 For a cambered airfoil, the center of pressure (CP), 3.10 For a cambered airfoil, an increase in velocity results in, 3.11 A decrease in the AOA of any airfoil will result in, 3.12 The aerodynamic center (AC) is located at, 25% chord subsonically and 50% chord supersonically. You don't have to know all three of these values-- any two are sufficient, and in this case you'll know the airspeed and the vertical speed. 9.7 For Jet and Propeller aircraft, the two things shared at L/Dmax are the Maximum Engine-out Glide speed and Maximum range. 8.25 When leveling off at cruise altitude after a climb in an aircraft with a fixed-pitch propeller, as the forward speed of the aircraft increases the blade angle of attack __________. We cant fly straight and level at speeds below the stall speed or above the maximum speed where the drag equals the maximum thrust from the engine. 12.20 When taking off in a microburst, a pilot should be aware of what change in performance when going from a tailwind to a headwind? What altitude gives the best range for the C-182? 13.1 The G's required for an aircraft to maintain altitude in a coordinated turn are determined by the bank angle alone. 1.1 Aerodynamic Force (AF) resolves in which aerodynamic components? The Role of Performance in Aircraft Design: Constraint Analysis, 9.6 Other Design Objectives Including Take-off, https://archive.org/details/hw-9_20210805, source@https://pressbooks.lib.vt.edu/aerodynamics, status page at https://status.libretexts.org. 2.4 A piston-prop aircraft has a wing loading of 1600 N/m, and its drag polar is given by CD = 0.025 + 0.05CZ. This would give a curve that looks similar to the plots for cruise and climb. Excess power is power available minus power required. The relationship above, since it does not depend on the thrust, will plot on our constraint analysis chart as a vertical line in much the same way the stall case did, but it will be just to the left of the stall line. Adapted from Raymer, Daniel P. (1992). Note also that the units of the graph need not be the same on each axis for this method to work. 1.14 An airplane with a mass of 250 slugs accelerates down the takeoff runway with a net force of 3,000 lb. For the prop aircraft Raymer defines TOP as follows: It should be noted here that it is often common when conducting a constraint analysis for a propeller type aircraft to plot the power-to-weight ratio versus wing loading rather than using the thrust-to-weight ratio. If, for example, we went all out to create a plane that could takeoff in a very short distance and then look at its performance in straight and level cruise we would probably find that it isnt very good. 2.14 The energy of an airstream is in two forms: It has potential energy, which is what kind of pressure? 5.23 For a given aircraft wing, if the wing span increases and the average chord remains the same, the aspect ratio will __________. What group uses the most electrical energy? Or, if you've re-plotted your graph with the same scale on each axis, and you aren't worried about the difference between airspeed and horizontal speed, you can forgo the trig calculation and just use a protractor to measure the angle between the tangent line and the x axis of your graph of vertical speed versus airspeed. | Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Sitemap | Patreon | Contact, https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2013/november/pilot/proficiency-behind-the-power-curve, Federal Aviation Administration - Pilot/Controller Glossary, Climb performance is a measure of excess thrust which generally increases lift to overcome other forces such as weight and drag, This is true for most aircraft although some high performance aircraft can function like rockets for a limited time, utilizing thrust to lift away from the earth vertically, with no lift required, Excess power or thrust, terms that are incorrectly used interchangeably, allow for an aircraft to climb, Power and thrust are not the same, despite their use as such, Power is a measure of output from the engine while thrust is the force that actually moves the aircraft, In a piston aircraft, power is converted to thrust through the propeller, In a jet aircraft, the engine produces thrust directly from the engine, When you are moving the throttle controls inside of the aircraft, you're controlling the engine and that is why they are referred to as power levers, Therefore the best angle of climb (produces the best climb performance with relation to distance, occurs where the maximum thrust is available, The best rate occurs where the maximum power is available), The relationship between propulsion and drag is such that it takes a certain amount of power/thrust to overcome drag both on the high end (the faster you go) and also the low-end (the slower you go), This is noticeable during slow flight where you find yourself adding extra power to overcome all the increases in drag that are necessary to sustain lift, If you fall "behind the power curve" however, you're in a position where you cannot generate immediate performance by simply increasing power, The increase in power must first overcome the increased drag and then the expected performance will occur, Ultimately, it is because of excess power (or thrust) that an aircraft climbs, For the purpose of initial climb however, we are concerned with our aircraft's performance in order to get away from the ground, Certain conditions will call for a specific climb profile, generally best rate (V, Max excess thrust results in the best angle of climb, Reduced distance to climb to the same altitude as V, Best rate of climb, or Vy, maximizes velocity to obtain the greatest gain in altitude over a given period of time, Vy is normally used during climb, after all obstacles have been cleared, It is the point where the largest power is available, Increases airflow over the engine while at high power, Provides additinoal buffer from stall speeds, Takes more distance to reach the same altitude as V. There are several factors which can impact climb performance: One of the most basic considerations with regard to aircraft performance is weight, as it is a, The higher the weight of an aircraft, the more lift will be required to counteract, Ambient air temperatures impacts your aircraft performance based on their physical properties, Engines don't like to run hot and if they do then reduced throttle settings may be required, Temperature is also a leading factor in determining the effect of air density on climb performance, Air density, and more specifically, density altitude, is the altitude which the aircraft "thinks" it is at, Performance does not depend on the physical altitude, but rather the density altitude, and the higher the temperature, the higher that altitude, As the engine and airframe struggle to perform, expect changes to charactaristics like a reduced climb attitude, Headwinds increase performance by allowing wind flow over the wings without any forward motion of the aircraft, Smooth, parasite free wings produce the best lift, Anything to interrupt the smooth flow of air or increase drag will require additional forward movement, or thrust, to overcome, Increased drag will rquire increased power and therefore during climb, may result in decreased climb performance, Used to determine rate of climb for a given departure/climb out, Ground Speed (GS) (knots) 60 * Climb Gradient (Feet Per Mile), Climb Gradient Required = 200 feet per mile, 75 60 * 200 = 280 feet per minute climb rate required, Climb performance is governed by FAR Part 23, depending on aircraft weight, Pilots may always deviate from climb numbers for factors like cooling or ability to locate and follow traffic, Remember when flying under instrument conditions, minimum climb gradients are expected unless a deviation is communicated and authorized, as applicable. Within all this we could look at the effects of aspect ratio and Oswalds efficiency factor to find how wing planform shape will affect our results. To include drag due to engine failure at low thrust/ weight ratios, E may be reduced by approx-imately 4% for wing-mounted engines and 2% for engines mounted on either side of the fuselage tail. 5.5 Laminar flow airfoils (NACA 66-XX series) are designed for the airflow to remain laminar much further back from the leading edge than on the conventional airfoils. Which gives the best endurance? 2.19 Standard temperature for degrees C is ___________. 7.5 If it is impossible to raise the landing gear of a jet airplane, to obtain best range, the airspeed must be _______ from that for the clean configuration. 4.1 The portion of the boundary layer airflow known as laminar flow is characterized by, Reverses flow direction when stall occurs, 4.3 Adverse pressure gradient on an airfoil is found, c. From the point of minimum pressure to the trailing edge, 4.5 List the two types of stalls that are of interest to the non-jet pilot, 4.10 As thickness of an airfoil is increased, the stall AOA, 4.11 As camber of an airfoil is increased, its CL at any AOA, 4.12 A smaller Reynolds number (less than 0.5 million) indicates, 4.13 A large Reynolds number (greater than 10 million) indicates, 4.14 The thicker the airfoil, ___________________.

Raymer proposed the relationship below: Sa = 1000 for an airliner with a 3 degree glideslope, 600 for a general aviation type power off approach. stream 3.25 The rudder controls movement around the ________________ axis. This can be put into the drag equation with the numbers found above to get the thrust or power needed to reach that maximum speed. In straight and level flight we know: And if we simply combine these two equations we will get the same relationship we plotted above. 4. chord The maximum angle of climb occurs where there is the greatest difference between the thrust available and the thrust required. 3.13 thru 3.17 Reference Figure 2. 13.21 As the weight of an aircraft decreases, the VA. 13.22 ______________ of the total lift is the centripetal force that causes radial acceleration.
