maximum climb
1maximum climb angle — The climb angle is the angle at which a given aircraft gains altitude. The climbing speed for the maximum climb angle is less than the best rate of climb speed and is obtained by actual flight tests. It is usually near 1.2 times the basic… …
2Maximum Landing Weight — The Maximum Landing Weight (MLW) is the maximum aircraft gross weight due to design or operational limitations at which an aircraft is permitted to land. It must not exceed the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW). The operation landing weight may be… …
3maximum rate of climb — A climb made by an aircraft at the maximum recommended power setting and at an angle to give the greatest gain in altitude in feet per minute or meters per s …
4climb-out — i. Flight from getting airborne to setting course. ii. Flight from takeoff to a height of 1500 ft or 5 min divided into the following segments: (a) First segment. This extends from 35 ft (screen height) to the point at which, on one power unit… …
5Rate of climb — An F 15 Eagle climbing and releasing flares. In aeronautics, the rate of climb (RoC) is an aircraft s vertical speed the rate of change in altitude. In most ICAO member countries (even in otherwise metric countries), this is usually expressed in… …
6rate of climb — The rate of gain of vertical height per unit of time (i.e., feet/minute or meters/second). The rate of climb is normally calculated when an aircraft is climbing at its specified climbing speed and not in zoom climb. In helicopters, there are two… …
7Zoom climb — A zoom climb is a climb where the rate of climb is greater than the maximum for a sustained climb, as determined from the thrust of the aircraft s engines. During a zoom climb, the aircraft gains potential energy at the expense of kinetic energy …
8Duke Annual Robo-Climb Competition — Hosted by Duke University, the Duke Annual Robo Climb Competition (DARC) challenges students to create innovative wall climbing robots that can ascend vertical surfaces. The competition, which will be held on Duke s campus in Durham, North… …
9Angle of Climb — In aerodynamics, angle of climb is the ratio between distance travelled over the ground and altitude gained. The angle of climb can be expressed as the angle between a plane horizontal to the earth s surface and the actual flight path followed by …
10best angle-of-climb speed — The air speed at which an aircraft will gain the greatest amount of altitude for a given distance. It is less than the best rate of climb speed, and its usual value is about 1.2 times the basic stalling speed. The climb is usually carried out at… …
