Basic Climb Performance <strong>Analysis</strong>The basic equations <strong>of</strong> motion along the climbing flightpath and normal to the flight path <strong>of</strong> an air vehicle are:dVm dt=T– D – mg sin((25)d(m V L – mg cos(dt(26)=Vwhere: m is the vehicle mass, is the airspeed, T and D are thetractive and drag forces, respectively; ( is the flight path angle. L isthe lift force and mg cos(is the gravitational component normal to theflight path.Virginia Tech - <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Laboratory 117
