Takeoff Distance Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Takeoff Distance:

\[ \text{TD} = \text{GR} + \text{D50} \]

Where:

\(\text{TD}\) is the Takeoff Distance (feet)
\(\text{GR}\) is the Ground Run (feet)
\(\text{D50}\) is the Distance to Reach 50 Vertical Feet (feet)

Takeoff Distance

The takeoff distance is the total distance required for an aircraft to take off, including both the ground run and the distance needed to reach a height of 50 feet. This calculation is essential for understanding the performance capabilities of an aircraft and ensuring it can safely take off within the available runway length.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Ground Run (GR) = 3000 feet
Distance to Reach 50 Vertical Feet (D50) = 500 feet

Using the formula:

\[ \text{TD} = 3000 + 500 = 3500 \text{ feet} \]

The Takeoff Distance (TD) is 3500 feet.
