Observations• Rate <strong>of</strong> climb is high at low altitudes (due to highthrust available)• The rate <strong>of</strong> climb decreases non-linearly with altitude(lower atmospheric density reduces engine thrust)• The rate <strong>of</strong> climb is affected by other environmentaland operational variables:• <strong>Aircraft</strong> weight• Temperature• <strong>Climb</strong> speedVirginia Tech - Air Transportation Systems Laboratory23
