- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Climb Performance Factors
Climb Performance Factors Since weight, altitude and configuration changes affect excess thrust and power, they also affect climb performance. Climb performance is directly dependent upon the ability to produce either excess thrust or excess power. Earlier in the book ... Aircraft designers go to great lengths to minimize the weight, since it has such a marked effect on the factors pertaining to performance. A change in an aircraft’s weight produces a twofold effect on climb performance. First, a change…

pilot flying a lower approach. Atmospheric haze can create an illusion of being at a greater distance and height from the runway. As a result, the pilot has a tendency to be low on the approach. Conversely, extremely clear ... overshoot or go around. The diffusion of light due to water particles on the windshield can adversely affect depth perception. The lights and terrain features normally used to gauge height during landing become less effective for the pilot. Flying into…

stored energy of position. Figure 11-6. Power versus speed. Aircraft motion (KE) is described by its velocity (airspeed). Aircraft position (PE) is described by its height (altitude). Both KE and PE are directly proportional to the object’s mass ... directly proportional to the square of the object’s velocity (airspeed). PE is directly proportional to the object’s height (altitude). The formulas below summarize these energy relationships: KE = ½ × m × v2 m = object mass v = object velocity m = object mass…

Diagram The flight operating strength of an aircraft is presented on a graph whose vertical scale is based on load factor. [Figure 5-55] The diagram is called a Vg diagram—velocity versus G loads or load factor. Each aircraft ... diagram that is valid at a certain weight and altitude. The lines of maximum lift capability (curved lines) are the first items of importance on the Vg diagram. The aircraft in Figure 5-53 is capable of developing no more…
