How to Calculate Power required at an altitude?
Power required at an altitude calculator uses Power required at an altitude=sqrt(2*(Weight^3)*(Drag Coefficient^2)/(Density*Reference Area*(lift coefficient^3))) to calculate the Power required at an altitude, The Power required at an 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 and is denoted by PR,alt symbol.
How to calculate Power required at an altitude using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Power required at an altitude, enter Weight (W), Drag Coefficient (CD), Density (ρ), Reference Area (S) and lift coefficient (CL) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Power required at an altitude calculation can be explained with given input values -> 63.34064 = sqrt(2*(100^3)*(100^2)/(997*5*(10^3))).
