What is the difference between the range and the endurance of an aircraft?
Endurance is the measure of how long any aerial vehicle can stay aloft, it is a measure of time (hours, minutes, seconds). The range is how far an aerial vehicle can get on a load of fuel, it is a measure of distance (miles, kilometers, yards, and meters).
How to Calculate Endurance of Propeller-Driven Airplane?
Endurance of Propeller-Driven Airplane calculator uses Endurance of Aircraft = Propeller Efficiency/Specific Fuel Consumption*(Lift Coefficient^1.5)/Drag Coefficient*sqrt(2*Freestream density*Reference Area)*((1/Weight without fuel)^(1/2)-(1/Gross Weight)^(1/2)) to calculate the Endurance of Aircraft, The Endurance of Propeller-Driven Airplane is given by the Breguet Endurance formula and is a function of the altitude of aircraft. Endurance of Aircraft is denoted by E symbol.
How to calculate Endurance of Propeller-Driven Airplane using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Endurance of Propeller-Driven Airplane, enter Propeller Efficiency (η), Specific Fuel Consumption (c), Lift Coefficient (CL), Drag Coefficient (CD), Freestream density (ρ∞), Reference Area (S), Weight without fuel (W1) & Gross Weight (W0) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Endurance of Propeller-Driven Airplane calculation can be explained with given input values -> 452.8703 = 0.93/0.000166666666666667*(5^1.5)/2*sqrt(2*1.225*5.08)*((1/3000)^(1/2)-(1/5000)^(1/2)).
