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:
-
Rate of climb in ft/min vs altitude from sealevel to 10,000 ft
-
Time to climb vs altitude
Submit:
- Plot of flight speed vs altitude
- Plot of time to climb vs altitude
- Thrust required/thrust available curve at
sea level, 5000 ft, 10000 ft
Mark the flight speed on each plot
- Source code for the
