Total Drag for given excess power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Drag Force = Thrust-(Excess Power/Velocity)
FD = T-(Pexcess/v)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - Thrust denotes the force exerted by the engine to propel an aircraft forward.
Excess Power - (Measured in Watt) - Excess Power is defined as the difference between the power available and the power required at a particular speed and altitude of aircraft.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Thrust: 700 Newton --> 700 Newton No Conversion Required
Excess Power: 37197.6 Watt --> 37197.6 Watt No Conversion Required
Velocity: 60 Meter per Second --> 60 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

16 Climbing Flight Calculators

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))
Drag in Accelerated Flight
Go Drag Force = Thrust*cos(Thrust Angle)-Mass of Aircraft*[g]*sin(Flight Path Angle)-Mass of Aircraft*Acceleration
Centrifugal Force in Accelerated Flight
Go Centrifugal Force = Lift Force+Thrust*sin(Thrust Angle)-Mass of Aircraft*[g]*cos(Flight Path Angle)
Rate of Climb of Aircraft
Go Rate of Climb = (Power Available-Power Required)/Aircraft weight
Flight path angle at given rate of climb
Go Flight Path Angle = asin(Rate of Climb/Velocity)
Velocity of aircraft at given rate of climb
Go Velocity = Rate of Climb/sin(Flight Path Angle)
Rate of Climb
Go Rate of Climb = Velocity*sin(Flight Path Angle)
Velocity of aircraft for given excess power
Go Velocity = Excess Power/(Thrust-Drag Force)
Thrust available for given excess power
Go Thrust = Drag Force+(Excess Power/Velocity)
Total Drag for given excess power
Go Drag Force = Thrust-(Excess Power/Velocity)
Excess power
Go Excess Power = Velocity*(Thrust-Drag Force)
Weight of aircraft for given excess power
Go Aircraft weight = Excess Power/Rate of Climb
Excess power for given rate of climb
Go Excess Power = Rate of Climb*Aircraft weight
Rate of Climb for given excess power
Go Rate of Climb = Excess Power/Aircraft weight
