Had aquick look at those graphs, Alex. I'll study them tomorrow. The most obvious thing to me is that one is depicting power required/available, the other is showing thrust.

I'd expect a difference since P=TxTAS ie not the same as thrust. Am I still missing something?

Wha??? We can't edit our posts after 10 mins?? What a pain!


Oops, Alex. Just noticed the third graph...

I wonder where the straight line depicting power available is from as well. Maybe he's normalised the graph's y axis to force a straight line depiction? That would help show where max. excess power is obtained by hiding the power available vs speed variable.

testing.....

How interesting. My additional post got added to my previous one. Wonder what will happen to this one?


Now I know. It got included in the initial post too. The timer is a bit out though. Tried the 'Edit' option after two minutes & still got the 'No editing after 10 mins' message
