Weight of Aircraft for given Excess Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Aircraft Weight - (Measured in Newton) - Aircraft Weight is the total aircraft weight at any moment during the flight or ground operation.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Excess Power: 37197.6 Watt --> 37197.6 Watt No Conversion Required
Rate of Climb: 3.71976 Meter per Second --> 3.71976 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = P_excess/RC --> 37197.6/3.71976

Evaluating ... ...

W = 10000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10000 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10000 Newton <-- Aircraft Weight

What angle do planes take off?

Planes slowly angle up during take off at about 2-3 degrees per second for a Boeing 747. The average passenger plane has a maximum take-off angle of about 10-15 degrees.

How to Calculate Weight of Aircraft for given Excess Power?

Weight of Aircraft for given Excess Power calculator uses Aircraft Weight = Excess Power/Rate of Climb to calculate the Aircraft Weight, The Weight of Aircraft for given Excess Power refers to the force exerted by gravity on the mass of the aircraft, it's the sum of the mass of all components of the aircraft, including the airframe, payload (passengers, cargo), fuel, and any other items onboard, this equation suggests that the weight of the aircraft can be calculated based on the excess power available during climb flight and the rate of climb. Aircraft Weight is denoted by W symbol.
