| Jan 13, 2023 at 22:50 | comment | added | sophit | Yes perfect. Now you can put everything in the last diagram (the one with the "takeoff parameter" - use the second equation for propeller aircraft) of this answer and you should get a good approximation. Obviously you have to use takeoff values, with $C_{l_{TO}}$ being $1.21 \times C_{l_{max}}$. $\sigma$ is the density ratio in respect to ISA sea level. | |
