Formulas for Takeoff Performance P3-A,B and C Airplanes.

Abstract

The increase in program steps to more than 200 and larger memory storage of handheld computers appears to make practicable their use in preflight planning of military missions by flight crews. Such application would provide greater accuracy and enhance efficient utilization of airplane capability. Contract No. N00014-77-C-0461 authorized development of formulas to calculate takeoff field length requirements and pertinent airspeeds and powerplant performance to test the feasibility of this application. This report contains formulas for the performance items authorized by the contract. It is recommended that they be programmed for use with a hand-held computer and that computer solutions be evaluated for flight planning for service missions of P-3 airplanes. (Author)
