Airplane Flight: X-Plane in the Classroom
Power Loading Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power
Power Loading Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft
Power Loading Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft Horsepower is a measure of power
Power Loading Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft Horsepower is a measure of power Kinds of Horsepower
Power Loading Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft Horsepower is a measure of power Kinds of Horsepower Brake Horsepower (bhp) = power to overcome drag
Power Loading Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft Horsepower is a measure of power Kinds of Horsepower Brake Horsepower (bhp) = power to overcome drag Thrust Horsepower = bhp/80% (due to prop efficiency)
Power Loading Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft Horsepower is a measure of power Kinds of Horsepower Brake Horsepower (bhp) = power to overcome drag Thrust Horsepower = bhp/80% (due to prop efficiency) Cruise Horsepower = Thrust Horsepower/75% (avoid full power)
Power Loading Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft Horsepower is a measure of power Kinds of Horsepower Performance Tradeoffs Greater power, greater fuel consumption
