Thrust for Level and Unaccelerated Flight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thrust = Drag Force/(cos(Thrust Angle))
T = F_D/(cos(σ_T))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - The Thrust of an aircraft is defined as the force generated through propulsion engines that move an aircraft through the air.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Thrust Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Thrust Angle is defined as the angle between thrust vector and flight path (or flight velocity) direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Drag Force: 99.99 Newton --> 99.99 Newton No Conversion Required
Thrust Angle: 0.01 Radian --> 0.01 Radian No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
