Aircraft Power Curve & Region of Reversed Command Explained

In this video I go over the aircraft power curve and the region of reversed command. I review how Induced Drag and Parasitic Drag work to produce total drag experienced by an aircraft in flight, and the relationship between total drag (aka Thrust Required) and airspeed. I also discuss how Best Glide airspeed is determined. I also explain how (Vx) Best Angle of Climb and (Vy) Best Rate of Climb are determined based on Thrust Available vs Thrust Required, and Power Available vs Power Required, respectively. #aviation #flight #flying #fly #learntofly #aircraft #airplane #flighttraining

Excellent video!

tnx

Great video

@FalconImagery , great video and explanation. Does the Vg then correspond to the Vmd? Can you make a video explaining this in the context of Vmd-VmP (minimum power) and maximum range vs maximum endurance please?

[@FalconImagery]

Vmd is the minimum drag speed, where the parasitic and induced drag curves intersect, basically Vg (Best Glide Speed), or also the speed Vbe which gives you the maximum endurance speed.

Great explanation thanks

You're welcome!
