In the calculation of the specific climb the specific fuel consumption is kept varying and the thrust or power is kept at maximum position.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me in quiz.The doubt is from Minimum Fuel Climb in section Climb and Descent Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) True

To explain: In the calculation of the specific climb the specific fuel consumption is KEPT constant and the thrust or power is kept at maximum position.The formula for specific climb is given by SC=\(\frac{dH/dt}{Q_f}\) where SC is specific thrust, \(\frac{dH}{dt}\) is RATE CHANGE of height with respect to TIME and Qf is fuel flow. The specific climb is calculated in the units of ft/kg.
