Range and endurance of turboprop, turbofan, or piston–propeller aircraft having wings with or without camber

New analytic expressions, based on the exact performance relationships without making the approximations on which the classical Breguel equation is based, are developed to predict cruising range and endurance of turboprop, turbofan, or piston-propeller aircraft at constant speed and altitude. Also,...

Description
Summary:New analytic expressions, based on the exact performance relationships without making the approximations on which the classical Breguel equation is based, are developed to predict cruising range and endurance of turboprop, turbofan, or piston-propeller aircraft at constant speed and altitude. Also, the optimal cruising speed to achieve maximum range is determined. (Author)
