climb performance Jet vs Prop
Do I have the following right?:-
Jet:- Vx IAS stays the same as altitude gets higher. Vy IAS reduces as altitude gets higher. Both angle and rate of climb lessen as altitude increases. Prop:- Vx IAS increases as altitude gets higher. Vy IAS reduces as altitude gets higher. Both angle and rate of climb lessen as altitude increases. If the above is right, is there a rule of thumb for how much the various speeds change, or is it really aircraft+powerplant reliant? TIA
