Hello,
I'm a engineering student in germany having his first exam about aircrafts, so please apologise if the question is too stupid.
I have the table for minimum gross gradients by engine failure and it says
engines .........2............3........... 4
1.Segment.....0%........0.3%.......0.5%
2.Segment....2.4%.......2.7%.......3.0%
3.Segment....1.2%......1.5%........1.7%
I don't understand this table. Why is it, that with more engines you need a higher climb rate?
thanks in advance
