I seem to remember seeing formulae for scaling planes, but cannot find
them back. The one I do remember is "power required rises to the third power of airspeed" - so to double the airspeed the engine power must go times eight. But there must be the same about weights and dimensions - if I double the length and wingspan, empty weight goes up by so many percent and max gross up by so many. Any pointers, please? NB of course I am aware that such factors can only be estimates, there being very many other parameters. TIA, |
