Kinetic Energy in Partial Climbs

Abstract

PARTIAL climbs are usually done at constant A.S.I, readings. In order to maintain constant A.S.I.R. during a climb, the true forward speed of the aeroplane must increase. Thus there is an increase in the kinetic energy of the aeroplane as well as an increase in the potential energy.
