Introduction to Aircraft Performance- the Force Systems of The Aircraft: The role and design mission of an aircraft. Specification of the performance requirements and mission profile. Importance of performance analysis, estimation, measurement, operational safety and economy. Scheduled performance and operational performance of aircraft. The Standard Atmosphere. Off-standard and design atmosphere. Measurement of air data. Air data computers.
Equations of motion for performance – the aircraft force system. Lift, drag, side force. Total airplance drag- estimation, drag reduction methods. The propulsive forces – the thrust production engines, power producing engines, variation of thrust, propulsive power andspecific fuel consumption with altitude and flight speed. The minimum drag speed, minimum power speed. Aerodynamic relationships for a parabolic drag polar.
UNIT – II
Cruise Performance: Maximum and minimum speeds in level flight. Range and endurance with thrust production, and power producing engines. Cruise techniques – constant angle of attack, constant Match number; constant altitude, methods- comparision of performance. The effect of alternative fuel flow laws, weight, altitude and temperature on cruise performance. Cruise performance with mixed power-plants.
