What is the value that maintains maximum rate and minimum power speed of the aircraft?(a) 1/\(\sqrt[4]{3}\)(b) 1/\(\sqrt[3]{3}\)(c) u^2/\(\sqrt[4]{3}\)(d) u^2/\(\sqrt[3]{3}\)The question was posed to me during an internship interview.I'd like to ask this question from Climb and Descent Performance with Power-Producing Engines topic in section Climb and Descent Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) 1/\(\SQRT[4]{3}\)

The explanation is: At the maximum rate i.e. dv/du=0 the value of u=1/\(\sqrt[4]{3}\) which is the minimum power SPEED. The rate of CLIMB is given by λ-\(\frac{1}{2}\)[u^3+u^-1]=Emaxv where λ is dimensionless power, u is airspeed and Emax is ENDURANCE.
