I'm not convinced that it is right.
Vx occurs at the airspeed where excess thrust is maximized, while Vy occurs at the airspeed where excess power is maximized. Off the top of my head, I don't see any reason to believe that for a jet, that it's a given that maximum excess thrust would occur at a constant airspeed with respect to altitude. The ***TAS*** would definitely increase, but the drag/thrust curve moves to the right rather than to the right and up like the power required curve. As far as I can tell, and I'm basing it (probably WAY too much) on the interactive program found at this page http://www.professionalpilot.ca/aero.../climb_jet.htm, the ***IAS*** remains almost constant for a jet. Confusing stuff. |
