Are UDF/Propfan Engines Thrust Producing or Power Producing?
Thrust is a Force and Power is Force × Velocity.
Let's look at the application of those terms with respect to propulsion.
All aircraft are moved by thrust force.
why do we even talk about "power&...

Are UDF/Propfan Engines Thrust Producing or Power Producing?
I happen to have an engine deck representative of a GE-36. It is tabulated in terms of thrust, so I'll have to do some manipulations to get a power curve to compare with.
Here is a chart showing full ...

For a fixed density altitude, how does climb performance depend on pressure altitude?
Perhaps it depends on how you read the graph. If indicated airspeed is held constant, then the graph shows lower climb rate for higher density altitude.
Just stick with one airspeed reading it.
It ...
