  1. Power Loading Airplane Flight: X-Plane in the Classroom

  2. Power Loading • Power Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power

  3. Power Loading • Power Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power • Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft

  4. Power Loading • Power Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power • Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft • Horsepower is a measure of power

  5. Power Loading • Power Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power • Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft • Horsepower is a measure of power • Kinds of Horsepower

  6. Power Loading • Power Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power • Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft • Horsepower is a measure of power • Kinds of Horsepower • Brake Horsepower (bhp) = power to overcome drag

  7. Power Loading • Power Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power • Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft • Horsepower is a measure of power • Kinds of Horsepower • Brake Horsepower (bhp) = power to overcome drag • Thrust Horsepower = bhp/80% (due to prop efficiency)

  8. Power Loading • Power Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power • Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft • Horsepower is a measure of power • Kinds of Horsepower • Brake Horsepower (bhp) = power to overcome drag • Thrust Horsepower = bhp/80% (due to prop efficiency) • Cruise Horsepower = Thrust Horsepower/75% (avoid full power)

  9. Power Loading • Power Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight divided by power • Power or thrust overcomes drag to propel the aircraft • Horsepower is a measure of power • Kinds of Horsepower • Performance Tradeoffs • Greater power, greater fuel consumption
