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

    The service ceiling is the maximum altitude of an aircraft during normal operations. Specifically, it is the density altitude at which flying in a clean configuration , at the best rate of climb airspeed for that altitude and with all engines operating and producing maximum continuous power, will produce a given rate of climb.

  3. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor(x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x, denoted ⌈x⌉ or ceil(x). [1]

  4. Rate of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    V x increases with altitude and V Y decreases with altitude until they converge at the airplane's absolute ceiling, the altitude above which the airplane cannot climb in steady flight. The Cessna 172 is a four-seat aircraft. At maximum weight it has a V Y of 75 kn (139 km/h) indicated airspeed [4] providing a rate of climb of 721 ft/min (3.66 m/s).

    A ceiling is the upper surface of a room. Ceiling may also refer to: Ceiling function in mathematics; Glass ceiling, a barrier to advancement of a qualified person; Ceiling (aeronautics), the maximum density altitude an aircraft can reach under a set of conditions; Price ceiling, an imposed limit on the price of a product

    the floor, ceiling and fractional part functions are idempotent; the real part function () of a complex number, is idempotent. the subgroup generated function from the power set of a group to itself is idempotent; the convex hull function from the power set of an affine space over the reals to itself is idempotent;

    the ceiling of 1.4 is 2. 1.6 rounded is 2, the floor of 1.6 is 1, the ceiling of 1.6 is 2. So the floor of a fraction is always down; the ceiling of a fraction is always up; rounding can be up or down depending upon whether the fraction is less than one half.

    Service ceiling was 26,000 ft, and absolute ceiling was 26,700 ft. Range was 800 miles. This new cockpit enclosure satisfied the requirement for pilot protection at 250 mph operating speeds. Nevertheless, the landing speed of the YP-29 was considered too high for Army operational use and the YP-29 was returned to the factory for the ...
