Homework 6: Low Altitude Climb

Problem Statement

The aircraft of Problem 5 is required by the FAA to climb out at speeds less than 259 knots EAS when below 10,000 ft. Assume the aircraft flies at this flight speed, taking off from sea level.
Calculate thrust required/thrust available characteristics at at least 5 altitudes, sufficient to determine:
  1. Rate of climb in ft/min vs altitude from sealevel to 10,000 ft
  2. Time to climb vs altitude
Submit:
  1. Plot of flight speed vs altitude
  2. Plot of time to climb vs altitude
  3. Thrust required/thrust available curve at sea level, 5000 ft, 10000 ft
    Mark the flight speed on each plot
  4. Source code for the
