Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Thrust Angle
Thrust angle is defined as the angle between thrust vector and flight path (or flight velocity) direction.
Symbol: σT
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Drag Force
Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Symbol: FD
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mass of Aircraft
Mass of Aircraft is the total mass of the plane at any phase of its mission.
Symbol: m
Measurement: WeightUnit: kg
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Flight Path Angle
Flight Path Angle is defined as the angle between horizontal and the flight velocity vector, which describes whether the aircraft is climbing or descending.

How to Evaluate Thrust in Accelerated Flight?

Thrust in Accelerated Flight evaluator uses Thrust = (sec(Thrust Angle))*(Drag Force+(Mass of Aircraft*[g]*sin(Flight Path Angle))+(Mass of Aircraft*Acceleration)) to evaluate the Thrust, The Thrust in Accelerated Flight refers to the force generated by an aircraft's engines to propel it forward while accounting for changes in velocity, altitude, and flight path, in accelerated flight, such as during climbs, descents, or maneuvers, the thrust produced by the engines plays a crucial role in overcoming drag and maintaining the desired flight path. Thrust is denoted by T symbol.
