27 cze 2024 · Assuming a constant ground speed, we can use a simple rate equation to determine how far a cruising aircraft flies in a given span of time. The general rate equation is “rate times time equals amount”.
27 cze 2024 · The distance that the aircraft flies is then given by a simple rate equation: \(\LARGE d = V \cdot t \) where d is the distance, V is the velocity and t is the time aloft.
3 dni temu · The relationship between time, speed, and distance is foundational in physics and mathematics: Distance equals Speed multiplied by Time (D = S × T). Speed is...
27 cze 2024 · Let’s summarize the information necessary to do a preliminary calculation of an aircraft’s range under cruise conditions. We are taking a very simple view of aircraft range – for academic purposes. In reality, calculating the range is a complex problem because of the large number of variables.
29 cze 2024 · The Breguet range equation, named after the French aviation pioneer Louis Charles Breguet, is a fundamental formula in aeronautics for calculating the maximum range of an aircraft. It correlates the aircraft's range with its cruise speed, weight, and fuel efficiency, encapsulated by the lift-to-drag ratio.
6 dni temu · Calculation Formula. The formula to calculate ground speed (\ (GS\)) when knowing the true airspeed (\ (TAS\)), wind speed (\ (WS\)), and wind angle (\ (WA\)) is derived from vector analysis and is not straightforward. However, for direct headwind or tailwind, the formula simplifies to: \ [ GS = TAS \pm WS \]
2 dni temu · The descent rate formula is a simple yet powerful tool: \ [ DER = \frac {DD} {HD} \] Where: \ (DER\) is the Descent Rate, measured in descent distance per horizontal distance, \ (DD\) is the total descent distance, \ (HD\) is the total horizontal distance.
