Unaccelerated Performance
For your independent project, create an instructional presentation. Using/building on your previous drag (i.e., thrust-required) table and graph created in Module 3, generate additional power-required values in the table and depict the power-required curve for your aircraft.
Then, working with your derived thrust-required and/or power-required curves and table data, explain how to find various performance aspects for your aircraft, and provide the specific data for your example. At a minimum cover the following:
Maximum range airspeed
Maximum endurance airspeed
Best climb conditions
Best rate of climb (ROC) & associated airspeed
Best angle of climb (AOC) & associated airspeed
Maximum forward airspeed
Best glide airspeed
Additionally, discuss and highlight numerically on a specific example of how weight change influences performance events such as the best range or endurance.
