If Lift didn’t require Power • Planes would have same range empty or full • Helicopters could hover at any altitude and load • Propulsion would not require power either (same physics)
Power required for lift • Power is Force times Velocity • “Induced Power” is the lift times the vertical velocity Induced Power = Lift * Vertical Velocity
