3 / 20

On the Power versus TAS graph for level flight, the point at which a tangent from the origin touches the power required curve…

  • A
    is the point where the Lift to Drag ratio is a maximum.
  • B
    is the point where the Lift to Drag ratio is a minimum.
  • C
    is the point where Drag coefficient is a minimum.
  • D
    is the maximum drag speed.

Refer to figures.
POWER REQUIRED CURVE

  • Lowest Point of curve – VMP

=> For PROP: Best Endurance Speed.

  • Tangent – VMD, Best L/D Ratio

=> For PROP: Maximum Range

=> For JET: VX= Best Endurance
