Weight of aircraft for given excess power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Aircraft weight = Excess Power/Rate of Climb
W = P_excess/RC
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Aircraft weight - (Measured in Newton) - Aircraft weight is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation.
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.
Rate of Climb - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Rate of Climb (RoC) is defined as the aircraft's vertical speed – the positive or negative rate of altitude change with respect to time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Excess Power: 37197.6 Watt --> 37197.6 Watt No Conversion Required
Rate of Climb: 3.71976 Meter per Second --> 3.71976 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

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

Weight of aircraft for given excess power Formula

Aircraft weight = Excess Power/Rate of Climb
W = P_excess/RC

What angle do planes take off?

Planes slowly angle up during take off at about 2-3 degrees per second for a Boeing 747. The average passenger plane has a maximum take-off angle of about 10-15 degrees.

How to Calculate Weight of aircraft for given excess power?

Weight of aircraft for given excess power calculator uses Aircraft weight = Excess Power/Rate of Climb to calculate the Aircraft weight, The Weight of aircraft for given excess power refers to the force exerted by gravity on the mass of the aircraft, it's the sum of the mass of all components of the aircraft, including the airframe, payload (passengers, cargo), fuel, and any other items onboard, this equation suggests that the weight of the aircraft can be calculated based on the excess power available during climb flight and the rate of climb.
