Velocity in Accelerated Flight

Go Velocity = (Radius of Curvature/Mass of Aircraft*(Lift Force+Thrust*sin(Thrust Angle)-Mass of Aircraft*[g]*cos(Flight Path Angle)))^(1/2)

Lift in Accelerated Flight

Go Lift Force = Mass of Aircraft*[g]*cos(Flight Path Angle)+Mass of Aircraft*Velocity^2/Radius of Curvature-Thrust*sin(Thrust Angle)

Thrust in Accelerated Flight

Go Thrust = (sec(Thrust Angle))*(Drag Force+(Mass of Aircraft*[g]*sin(Flight Path Angle))+(Mass of Aircraft*Acceleration))
