<strong>Aircraft</strong> <strong>Climb</strong> <strong>Performance</strong>Calculation <strong>of</strong> Lift-to-Drag Ratio• The lift-to-drag ratio is calculated a the ratio <strong>of</strong> Cl andCd,• At h=600 meters and 210 knots (IAS)L / D = C lC d= 0.87610.0523 = 16.7• At h=8,000 meters and 290 knotsL / D = C lC d= 0.54880.0344 = 16.9• The lift-to-drag ratio is a key parameter in thedetermination <strong>of</strong> range <strong>of</strong> the aircraftVirginia Tech - Air Transportation Systems Laboratory21
