Simulation of Rate of Climb for a Single Seater Home Based Aircraft

Article January 1, 1970

The rate of climb (RoC) is an aircraft's vertical speed - the rate of change in altitude. The rate of climb in an aircraft is indicated with a vertical speed indicator (VSI) or instantaneous vertical speed indicator (IVSI). The rate of decrease in altitude is referred to as the rate of descent or sink rate. A decrease in altitude corresponds with a negative rate of climb. The objective of this research is to simulate the rate of climb of a single seater home based aircraft using “C”.
