Lecture Notes on the Principles and Practice of Airplane Performance Prediction. Part 2: Point-Performance in Steady Symmetric and Unsymmetric Flight

摘要

Performance prediction of subsonic airplanes in steady symmetric flight, and in steady symmetric glide is introduced. Power required and power available; performance prediction using analytical expressions for thrust and drag; effect of altitude and of changes of power available and airplane configuration; effect of weight on performance; and turning performance are discussed.
