What is the climb rate of a A320?
It is said that the initial climb rate for an A320 is between 15-20° and it differs depending on the weight and also the altitude.
What rate do planes climb at?
Most jets climb at 250 knots up to 10,000 feet due to FAA regulations. Above 10,000 feet, 280 to 300 knots with a transition to Mach . 7 around 24,000 feet are average for the 737. The Airbus will climb 250 knots up to 10,000 feet, then accelerate to 300 knots or a little more, then transition to Mach .
What’s the maximum climb rate of an Airbus A320?
The maximum rate of climb you’d see in an A320 in normal use is in the 2000 ft/min range, but that’s because it’s the highest reasonably efficient rate of climb. That’s not the maximum the aircraft is capable of under power (which is more in the region of 4000 ft/min), and is absolutely no indication of that maximum unsustained climb rate.
Which is faster an Airbus A321 or a 737?
The Airbus is more of a cruise climb, where the higher speed is near cruise speed but the rate of climb is less than the 737. The A321 at high weights does not climb rapidly. The amount of fuel used during takeoff and climb is much higher than cruise.
What are the climb rates during the different phases of flight?
What are the climb rates during the different phases of flight of an A320? I have read about common climb rates for an A320. It is said that the initial climb rate for an A320 is between 15-20° and it differs depending on the weight and also the altitude.
Which is the best drag speed for A320 / 321?
Green Dot is the minimum drag speed and will therefore give you the best angle. What I am after is the best rate. For an average 320/321 at mid altitudes and average weights it should be in the region of 275 Knots or so. If you were only at Green Dot at FL 300, you would be using quite a bit less than maximum thrust.
