Thrust in Accelerated Flight Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thrust = (sec(Thrust Angle))*(Drag Force+(Mass of Aircraft*[g]*sin(Flight Path Angle))+(Mass of Aircraft*Acceleration))
T = (sec(σ_T))*(F_D+(m*[g]*sin(γ))+(m*a))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Functions, 6 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
sec - Secant is a trigonometric function that is defined ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine., sec(Angle)

Variables Used

Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - Thrust denotes the force exerted by the engine to propel an aircraft forward.
Thrust Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Thrust angle is defined as the angle between thrust vector and flight path (or flight velocity) direction.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Mass of Aircraft - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Aircraft is the total mass of the plane at any phase of its mission.
Flight Path Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Flight Path Angle is defined as the angle between horizontal and the flight velocity vector, which describes whether the aircraft is climbing or descending.
Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity to the change in time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thrust Angle: 0.034 Radian --> 0.034 Radian No Conversion Required
Drag Force: 80.04 Newton --> 80.04 Newton No Conversion Required
Mass of Aircraft: 20 Kilogram --> 20 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Flight Path Angle: 0.062 Radian --> 0.062 Radian No Conversion Required
