Eq. (i) and (ii) are the equations of motion for steady climbing flight. 2

2 Now multiply Eq. (i) by ate of Climb(/C) vertical velocity component /C 3 he power required to overcome the aerodynamic drag is known as power-required for steady, level flight. So, P Not only to overcome the drag, the airplane power plant has to produce more power for climb in take off condition. his can ne available from the power plant and known as power available, P (P = ). he difference is known as excess power; P P excess power excess power excess power /C /C /C excess power 4 2

3 Maximum climb angle, θ he equations of motion for steady climbing flight cos cos Now replace in the drag term of Eq. (iii) ( iii) ( iv) cos cos For θ <20 ; cos θ.0 (Nominal stall angle for airfoil < 20 ) han 5 Maximum climb angle, θ For the case of jet-propelled airplane (turbo-jet), the thrust is essentially constant with velocity. hus for imum climb angle, θ (in case of turbo-jet engine): sin for turbo-jet engine 6 3
