eng.aircraft-climb-rate Calculator
Calculates aircraft rate of climb and climb gradient from excess thrust, aircraft weight, and true airspeed. Rate of climb = (Thrust − Drag) × V / W — at maximum rate of climb speed (Vy), the excess power is maximum.
Inputs
Excess Thrust N
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Aircraft Weight N
Body or object weight. For health calculators, usually in kg or lbs.
Velocity M S
Rate of movement. 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h = 2.237 mph.
Wind Component M S
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
rate of climb (m/s)
The value at the specified point or condition.
rate of climb (ft/min)
The value at the specified point or condition.
climb angle (°)
The computed angle in degrees or radians.
ROC = (T-D)V/W = excess power/weight
The computed weight (gravitational force) or mass.
