Flight Dynamics - Section 6 - part 1 - Summary of Basic Points of Duration and Contour Range of Jet Aircraft

1. Endurance performance

• Fuel consumption
• voyage
• flight time

2. Cruising Force Motion Equation

6 equation expressions to express:

3. Jet

3.1 Flight time

The flight time concept is relatively easy to understand:

Fuel/Minimum Fuel Consumption Speed ​​= Maximum Endurance

3.2 Range

3.3 Contour cruise

There are two ways to cruise: contour cruise or constant speed cruise

Note: With fuel consumption, the weight of the aircraft decreases, and if the altitude does not change, the speed also decreases. Conversely, if the desired speed does not decrease, the height must be increased.
