Aero Engineering 315 Lesson 27Gliding and Climbing Flight
Lesson Objectives • Write Equations of Motion for power-off glide • Calculate glide angle, glide range, sink rate, velocity for min sink and velocity for max glide range given T-38 charts or a drag polar • Know points where min sink and max glide range occur • State situations appropriate to fly at above speeds • Write Equations of Motion for steady climb • Calculate climb angle, ROC, Max AOC, and Max ROC given T-38 chart or drag polar • Know points where max AOC and ROC occur • Find the velocities for max AOC and ROC • State situations appropriate to fly at above speeds • Define absolute, service and combat ceilings
Climbs and glides summary Gliding Flight • Glide angle • Glide range • Sink rate Climbing Flight • Climb angle • Climb rate • Ceilings Results in just six separate parameters to determine
T-38 Example Given: W = 8,000 lbs h = 10,000 ft Find: RMAX
T-38 Example Given: W = 8,000 lbs h = 10,000 ft Find: RODMIN
T-37 drag polar example • CD = 0.02 + 0.057 CL2 • S = 184 ft2 • W = 6,000 lbs • Hr = sea level • Find • (L/D)max • PRmin
T-38 Example Given: W = 12,000 lbs h = Sea Level Find: gMAX
T-38 Example Given: W = 12,000 lbs h = Sea Level Find: ROCMAX
T-38 Ceiling What happens to TA - TR as we go higher?
Ceilings Based on maximum climb rates • Absolute Ceiling = 0 ft/min ROC • Service Ceiling = 100 ft/min ROC • Cruise Ceiling = 300 ft/min ROC • Combat Ceiling = 500 ft/min ROC
