  2. Flex temp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex_temp

    The particular take-off distance required may be shorter than the available runway length. In this case a lower thrust may be used. Lower thrust settings increase engine life and reduce maintenance costs. The take-off thrust available from a civil engine is a constant value up to a particular ambient temperature.

  3. Delta-v budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v_budget

    The delta-v required to return from Near-Earth objects is usually quite small, sometimes as low as 60 m/s (200 ft/s), with aerocapture using Earth's atmosphere. [10] However, heat shields are required for this, which add mass and constrain spacecraft geometry. The orbital phasing can be problematic; once rendezvous has been achieved, low delta ...

  4. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

    The required take-off thrust was 14,500 lb which would normally be set by advancing the thrust levers to give an EPR reading of 2.04. Due to EPR probe icing the value set, i.e. 2.04, was erroneous and actually equivalent to 1.70 which gave an actual thrust of only 10,750 lb.

  5. Delta-v - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v

    Delta-v (also known as "change in velocity"), symbolized as and pronounced /dɛltə viː/, as used in spacecraft flight dynamics, is a measure of the impulse per unit of spacecraft mass that is needed to perform a maneuver such as launching from or landing on a planet or moon, or an in-space orbital maneuver.

  6. Range (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_(aeronautics)

    giving the final form of the theoretical range equation (not including operational factors such as wind and routing) = The geopotential energy height of the fuel is an intensive property . A physical interpretation is a height that a quantity of fuel could lift itself in the Earth's gravity field (assumed constant) by converting its chemical ...

  7. Drag curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_curve

    The low speed region of flight is known as the "back of the power curve" or "behind the power curve" [7] [8] (sometimes "back of the drag curve") where more thrust is required to sustain flight at lower speeds. It is an inefficient region of flight because a decrease in speed requires increased thrust and a resultant increase in fuel consumption.

  8. Material requirements planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_requirements_planning

    When the quantities are required to meet demand. Shelf life of stored materials. Inventory status records. Records of net materials available for use already in stock (on hand) and materials on order from suppliers. Bills of materials. Details of the materials, components and sub-assemblies required to make each product. Planning data.

  9. Thrust-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-to-weight_ratio

    The thrust-to-weight ratio is usually calculated from initial gross weight at sea level on earth [6] and is sometimes called thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio. [7] The thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio of a rocket or rocket-propelled vehicle is an indicator of its acceleration expressed in multiples of earth's gravitational acceleration, g 0 .
