The best gradient of climb is predicted to be at an airspeed greater than minimum drag speed.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question in an interview for job.The origin of the question is Climb and Descent Performance with Thrust-Producing Engines topic in division Climb and Descent Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) True

The BEST EXPLANATION: The best rate of climb OCCURS when the excess thrust power (FNV) is maximum than the drag power (DV). As the ideal power increases linearly with true airspeed the best gradient of climb is PREDICTED to be at an airspeed greater than minimum drag speed.
