When flying the 'Backside of Thrust curve' means ?

exemple reponse 183
When flying 'backside of thrust curve' means A lower airspeed requires more thrust.

'Maximum endurance' ?

exemple reponse 184
'maximum endurance' Is achieved in unaccelerated level flight with minimum fuel flow.

  • exemple reponse 185
    The speed maximum endurance Is always lower than speed maximum specific range. if you want to stay in flight longest time possible you need to fly at maximum endurance speed (which minimum power required speed (vmp velocity minimum power)) if you want to travel maximum distance possible you need to fly at maximum range speed (the speed that wich gives maximum lift to drag ratio (vmd velocity minimum drag)) you can notice that maximum endurance speed always lower than maximum specific range speed.

  • exemple reponse 186
    Which of equations below defines specific range sr Sr = true airspeed/total fuel flow. specific range (sr) the enroute tas divided the current fuel flow the units of sr are nautical miles per gallon or nautical miles per pound of fuel.

  • exemple reponse 187
    To achieve maximum range over ground with headwind airspeed should be Higher compared to speed maximum range cruise with no wind. when striving maximum range it advantageous to reduce time of exposure to a headwind component increase time of exposure to a tailwind component therefore airspeed should be higher with a headwind in order to achieve maximum range.

  • Question 74-29

    If thrust available exceeds thrust required level flight The aeroplane accelerates if altitude maintained. if thrust greater than drag speed will increase if less plane will slow down if lift greater than weight plane will climb if less plane will descend in order to maintain altitude you must decrease angle of attack (the lift remains unchanged) thus aeroplane will accelerate (since only v² in lift formula cl x 1/2 rho v² x s can changed) lift formula cl x 1/2 rho v² x s cl = lift coefficient rho = density v = tas (in m/s) s = surface.
