Rate of Climb for given excess power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.
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

Excess Power: 37197.6 Watt --> 37197.6 Watt No Conversion Required
Aircraft Weight: 10000 Newton --> 10000 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

RC = P_excess/W --> 37197.6/10000

Evaluating ... ...

RC = 3.71976

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.71976 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.71976 Meter per Second <-- Rate of Climb

FAQ

What is Rate of Climb for given excess power?

The Rate of Climb for given Excess Power is the vertical speed at which an aircraft ascends, determined by the excess power available. Excess power represents the surplus power available beyond what is required to maintain level flight and is represented as RC = P_excess/W or Rate of Climb = Excess Power/Aircraft Weight. Excess Power is defined as the difference between the power available and the power required at a particular speed and altitude of aircraft & Aircraft Weight is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation.

How to calculate Rate of Climb for given excess power?

The Rate of Climb for given Excess Power is the vertical speed at which an aircraft ascends, determined by the excess power available. Excess power represents the surplus power available beyond what is required to maintain level flight is calculated using Rate of Climb = Excess Power/Aircraft Weight. To calculate Rate of Climb for given excess power, you need Excess Power (P_excess) & Aircraft Weight (W). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Excess Power & Aircraft Weight and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Rate of Climb?

In this formula, Rate of Climb uses Excess Power & Aircraft Weight. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
