LaTeX Go

Lift Force = Mass of Aircraft*[g]*cos(Flight Path Angle)+Mass of Aircraft*Velocity^2/Radius of Curvature-Thrust*sin(Thrust Angle)
F_L = m*[g]*cos(γ)+m*v^2/R_curvature-T*sin(σ_T)

What happens to the lift if thrust increase?

If the thrust of an aircraft is increased, the aircraft will accelerate and the velocity will increase.

How to Calculate Lift in Accelerated Flight?

Lift in Accelerated Flight calculator uses Lift Force = Mass of Aircraft*[g]*cos(Flight Path Angle)+Mass of Aircraft*Velocity^2/Radius of Curvature-Thrust*sin(Thrust Angle) to calculate the Lift Force, The Lift in Accelerated Flight is the aerodynamic force generated by the wings (or lifting surfaces) of the aircraft as it moves through the air. It acts perpendicular to the relative wind and is essential for counteracting the aircraft's weight to keep it aloft, the lift force acting on an aircraft plays a crucial role in maintaining its trajectory, stability, and maneuverability. Lift Force is denoted by F_L symbol.
