Hello
I don't know if this is the right place to put this topic but i need some explanation.
I don't seem to understand if you climb at vx you will gain an altitude in the shortest distance and if you climb at vy you gain the most altitude in the least time.
If you climb at vx and you reach 2000' in, let's say, 5nm while in the mean time you reach in 5nm at vy, 1300' why in the hell are going to climb at Vy to gain altitude in the shortest time?????
I've been looking up these things but they are always refering to excess power for Vy and excess thrust for Vx. Why not taking excess power into account for Vx.(too theoretically for me)
I simply do not understand, who can explain a bit?
Tx
