Variations on Aircraft Performance
Configuration Change:
DirtyParasite Drag is increased
Maximum velocity is decreased (structural limitations)
L/Dmaxairspeed decreases (not a) (configuration dependent)
Tr increases (to provide thrust to counter increased drag)
Taremains the same
Reduced climb angle
Reduced rate of climb
Fuel flow increases (proportionate to thrust increase)
Absolute ceiling decreases (higher Tr/Taratio)
Maximum Endurance is decreased
Maximum Range is decreased
CleanOpposite of all above
IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE BETTER IF HE RAISED THE FLAPS BACK UP AND AND THE GEAR WHICH WOULD MOST PROBABLY STRETCH THE GLIDE AS THE L/D MAX WOULD BE INCREASED AND MADE A FLAT BELLY LANDING BY SHUTTING OF THE FUEL FLOW AND EVERYTHING SO THAT FIRE WAS NOT AN ISSUE..BUT HEY HE WAS 600 FEET IN 777 NO TIME FOR ANYTHNG..WE SHOULD NOT CRITISIZE THEM AS WE WOULD DO THE SAME THING IF WE WERE IN THEIR SITUATION..ALL IN ALL THEY ALL DID A GOOD JOB..SAFE FLYING TO EVRYONE OUT THR..
