How to Calculate Touchdown velocity?
Touchdown velocity calculator uses Touchdown Velocity = 1.3*(sqrt(2*Weight Newton/(Freestream density*Reference Area*Maximum Lift Coefficient))) to calculate the Touchdown Velocity, The Touchdown velocity is a function of instantaneous weight, freestream pressure, and maximum lift coefficient of the aircraft. Touchdown Velocity is denoted by VT symbol.
How to calculate Touchdown velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Touchdown velocity, enter Weight Newton (W), Freestream density (ρ∞), Reference Area (S) & Maximum Lift Coefficient (CL,max) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Touchdown velocity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.456759 = 1.3*(sqrt(2*60.34/(1.225*5.08*1.65))).
