Excess power for given rate of climb Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Excess Power = Rate of Climb*Aircraft Weight
P_excess = RC*W
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Excess Power - (Measured in Watt) - Excess Power is defined as the difference between the power available and the power required at a particular speed and altitude of aircraft.
Rate of Climb - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Rate of Climb (RoC) is defined as the aircraft's vertical speed – the positive or negative rate of altitude change with respect to time.
Aircraft Weight - (Measured in Newton) - Aircraft Weight is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Rate of Climb: 3.71976 Meter per Second --> 3.71976 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Aircraft Weight: 10000 Newton --> 10000 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_excess = RC*W --> 3.71976*10000

Evaluating ... ...

P_excess = 37197.6

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

37197.6 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

37197.6 Watt <-- Excess Power

What is the climb rate of a Boeing 747?

During normal flights, the 747-400 & 747-8 has a climb rate ranging from 2000 to 4000 feet per minute.

How to Calculate Excess power for given rate of climb?

Excess power for given rate of climb calculator uses Excess Power = Rate of Climb*Aircraft Weight to calculate the Excess Power, Excess power for given rate of climb refers to the additional power available to an aircraft beyond what is necessary to maintain a specific climb rate under prevailing flight conditions, it's a measure of the aircraft's ability to climb at a specified rate while still having power available for other purposes, such as accelerating or maneuvering. Excess Power is denoted by P_excess symbol.

How to calculate Excess power for given rate of climb using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Excess power for given rate of climb, enter Rate of Climb (RC) & Aircraft Weight (W) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Excess power for given rate of climb calculation can be explained with given input values -> 37170 = 3.71976*10000.

FAQ

What is Excess power for given rate of climb?

Excess power for given rate of climb refers to the additional power available to an aircraft beyond what is necessary to maintain a specific climb rate under prevailing flight conditions, it's a measure of the aircraft's ability to climb at a specified rate while still having power available for other purposes, such as accelerating or maneuvering and is represented as P_excess = RC*W or Excess Power = Rate of Climb*Aircraft Weight. The Rate of Climb (RoC) is defined as the aircraft's vertical speed – the positive or negative rate of altitude change with respect to time & Aircraft Weight is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation.

How to calculate Excess power for given rate of climb?
