How to Calculate Power required at Altitude?
Power required at Altitude calculator uses Power required at an altitude = sqrt((2*Weight of body^3*Drag Coefficient^2)/(Density*Reference Area*Lift Coefficient^3)) to calculate the Power required at an altitude, The Power required at Altitude for an aircraft is a function of the weight, reference area, aerodynamic coefficients of the aircraft, and the density of air at that altitude. Power required at an altitude is denoted by PR,alt symbol.
How to calculate Power required at Altitude using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Power required at Altitude, enter Weight of body (Wbody), Drag Coefficient (CD), Density (ρ0), Reference Area (S) & Lift Coefficient (CL) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Power required at Altitude calculation can be explained with given input values -> 699.8681 = sqrt((2*750^3*1.134^2)/(997*91.05*0.29^3)).
