Which of the following is correct in terms of fate of climb (R/C)?(a) R/C = excess power/weight(b) R/C = lift/drag(c) R/C = excess lift/drag(d) R/C = excess power/Thrust requiredThe question was asked during an online interview.The above asked question is from Flight Mechanics topic in portion Performance and Flight Mechanics of Aircraft Design

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) R/C = excess power/weight

The best explanation: RATE of climb is NOTHING but the vertical velocity of the AIRCRAFT. Rate of climb can be DEFINED as the ratio of excess power of the aircraft to the aircraft weight. Hence, Correct relation between rate of climb and power is as follows: R/C = excess power/weight. Where, R/C = rate of climb.
