Calculate Takeoff Velocity







Formula

To calculate the Takeoff Velocity (V):

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot m \cdot g}{CL \cdot A \cdot d}} \]

What is Takeoff Velocity?

Takeoff velocity describes the speed at which the lift force is equal to the mass of the aircraft. It is the minimum speed required for an aircraft to become airborne, ensuring that the lift generated by the wings is sufficient to counteract the weight of the aircraft.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 5000 \cdot 9.81}{1.5 \cdot 50 \cdot 1.225}} = \sqrt{\frac{98100}{91.875}} = \sqrt{1067.78} = 32.67 \text{ m/s} \]

The Takeoff Velocity is 32.67 m/s.
