testwest Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 Introducing Vz - Best Efficiency of Climb for Small Airplanes View File This is a presentation of the concept of Vz, an efficient climb profile for small airplanes. This was my 2012 Master's in Aviation Science Capstone Project (thesis, basically) for Embry-Riddle, and it was judged as one of the top two Capstone projects submitted for the entire year for the worldwide campus. Vz was the subject of much discussion on Mooneyspace a number of years ago, and I was finally able to record an updated video of the presentation for the EAA Chapter at Spruce Creek, FL. TRT 57 minutes with narration. There are numerous animations and some video in this Keynote presentation which will play as a movie on most computers, hopefully. If someone needs a higher resolution version I can arrange to Dropbox it to you, the hi-rez is about 3.8 gigabytes. Mooneyspace members are free to utilize this video in virtual meetings or EAA chapter functions as they see fit. Special thanks to Scott Sellmeyer @KSMooniac who was the first subject of the flight test portion of this project. You will see him flying his Mooney briefly in the video. Looking forward to feedback! Submitter testwest Submitted 10/24/2020 Category Safety & Techniques
