Reliable formulae for estimating airplane performance and the effects of changes in weight, wing area, or power (1924)
NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · leaf 6
quires an unusually clean design and high-speed range to secure values of K in excess of 20.5. The formula may be used to determine the effect of changes in weight or power of an airplane of known performance with great accuracy. This is, the true value of K may be determined from the known… … V=liP.H. IF w Fig. 2.—Power carves for -j =4 lb.lsq.fl. Fig. 3.—Power carves for -^=$lb.[sq. ft.
