What is Aerodynamics Constants and Rate of Climb about?
1) For an aircraft in climbing flight, the thrust must overcome both drag and a component of weight, while in level flight thrust only overcomes drag. 2) In climbing flight, lift is slightly less than weight as thrust is partially responsible for overcoming total aircraft weight. Total drag is also less than in level flight at the same velocity due to reduced lift and induced drag. 3) The rate of climb is equal to the vertical velocity, which can be calculated from the vector resolution of free-stream ve
