Abstract

Jednomotorni klipni zrakoplov služi za kratke rute te se njegov let sastoji od faze polijetanja te faze krstarenja i faze slijetanja. Za svaku od navedenih faza se rade proračuni vremena leta te potrošnje goriva, osim za fazu slijetanja u kojem je potrošnja goriva jednaka kao i u horizontalnom letu. Zapovjednik zrakoplova odabire visinu krstarenja na temelju performansi zrakoplova i na temelju podataka o smjeru i jačini vjetra na raznim visinama na ruti. U sadržaju ovog završnog rada objašnjen je odabir optimalne visine jednomotornog klipnog zrakoplova koja se temelji na izračunatim podatcima o potrošenom gorivu te vremenom leta na odabranoj ruti. Različite postavke snage utječu na brzinu zrakoplova što može uzrokovati manju ili veću potrošnju goriva na ruti te vrijeme leta.

Abstract (english)

Single engine piston aircraft is used for short routes and flight is composed of three phases which are climb, cruise and landing. For each of the phases, calculations must be made for flight time and fuel consumption, except for the landing phase because fuel consumption is the same as in horizontal flight. Commander of aircraft selects the cruise altitude based on the performance of aircraft and based on wind direction and velocity at various altitudes on the route. The content of this final paper explains the optimal height selection of a single piston engine aircraft based on calculated data of fuel consumption and flight time on the seleted route. Different power settings affect the speed of the aircraft which can cause less or more fuel consumption on the route and flight time.
