which the actual thrust and drag will be equal to the mean values. However,
the speed range is not great and its effect on F and D will be slight. It
will be assumed that F and D are equal to the values of F and D at the speed

speed, this is the steady climb speed) and a height of 25 feet. It is of
interest that on large airplanes the ground effect may persist fairly strongly
even at 50 feet. However, this need only be considered in setting up the
method. It need not usually be considered in its routine application.
It is clear from equation (2-8) that the effect on air distance of any
parameter such as air density will be strongly influenced by any change of hv with
that parameter. Let us examine the relation between take-off speed and the speed
at 50 feet.
If the airolane leaves the ground at the maximum safe lift coefficient
it has at that instant insufficient lift available to change the direction of
flight. It will, however, continue to accelerate and as it does so, the available
lift will increase and eiable the airplauti LO change its direction of flight, say
to that at which it can climb at constant forward speed. However, unless the
remainder of the climb to 50 feet is a zoom with speed decreasing, some of this
speed increase will necessarily remain at 50 feet. If the unstick is del~'ed to a
speed higher than the minimum the airplane can be brought up into the climb more
sharply, and the speed change lessened, but even then a fairly drastic maneuver
would be necessary to bring the speed at 50 feet back to the unstick speed. Such a
maneuver would be unusual except with light arid docile airplanes.
Present take-off speeds for high performance airplanes are high enough
that this change in kinetic energy between unstick and 50 feet is between '/1-1
and 70% of the total energy increase, only 30% to 40% being used to increase
altitude. It is, therefore, necessary to decide how great the increase in
kinetic energy is and how it varies with test conditions.

If, as happens when the ratio of thrust to weight is large, the curved part of
the fligh#t path is not completed at 50 feet, a more complicated relation gives

The present writer has the oninnon that. the British empirical relation was
a good assumption when it was made, and that the basic trend which it represents
still exists. There are a number of factors, however, of increasing importance,
which tend to reduce its prosent suitability, The older tail wheel ty-po of
landing gear never forced a delayed take-off, whereas tricycle landing gears
sometimes do so and "bicycle" landing gears leave the pilot little control over
unstick speed. Also, with modern airplanes operating from good runways, it is
likely to be economic to delay unstick and use the excess speed to achieve a
sharper transition and a shorter cir path, bec:ause the drag on the ground will
often be lower than that in the air. With bicycle landing gear in particular,
it would seem reasonable to trim before take-off for a desired climb lift co-
efficient. The airplane would then unstick when aerodynamic forces were SuffiC-ie.. nt
either to lift the -irplane in the ground attitude or to oitch it to a greater
attitude sufficient to lift it. Cases such as these, taken i-.itA; the increasing

data by ihich to judge how to take off, s uggest that an, assumption that the
lift coefficients at 50 feet, and at unstick, ,ire constant during the reduction
process, is probably the most reasonable to use,, It enables the quoted take-
off perforrnincA at a given gross weight, to be associ.,te with a specific speed
at 50 feet, which will be independent of air pressure and temperature. This
assumption will, therefore, 1e adopted for this Report.
4.l Ground Roll: Using equation (2-3) we may consider the effect on
Sg of moderate changes in air density, thrust, and airplane gross weight. This
may be done by using the equation directly or by differentiating it with respect
to our variables. Let us first consider direct use of the equation. It is shown
in Appendix II that if unstick is at constant CL

This form is intended primarily for miachine computing of the corrected take-off
performance of jet propelled airplanes. It roeuires evaluation of the test and
standard thrust, which presents no great difficulty with the jet airplane but
could be inconvenient with a propeller driven airplane. It would be a little
clumsy for desk computing, but it has the advantage of being more accurate for
large corrections Lhan a differential method. As F varies only slowly with air-
speed, it is usually sufficient to A•rite F = 0.94 x FO, the static thrust.
¶1 Alternatively, we may differentiate equation (2-3) with rpspect to our variables.

This form would be a little more accurate for large corrections, being equiva-
lent to a step by step application of equation (1-2).
4o2 Air Phase: For !et airplanes when mechanized computing -7 used,
or possibly when the departure of test c )nditions from standard is rather large,
it is profitable to use a relation similar to equation (4-1). It is shown in
Appendix II, that if the lift coefficients at unstick and at 50 feet are un-
changed during the reduction process, we may write

where Sa is the distance coveredA between unstick and 50 feet, and, argain,
subscripts 'It" and Is" refer to test ,ind stand:-rd conditions respectively.
For propeller driven airplanes, and in general for desk computing, when the
differences betweIr test and standard conditions are not too large, it is again
more convenient to work with an eluation derived by differentiating the basic
relation. It is shown in Appendix iI that:

Again, as with e.nuation (2-5), tie terms in '\ W and tw'give the change of S
with W and f at constant F; any e(ffect. of clian,.,es of W or ' oni F must be
included in A F. As with the ground roll c:;se, the relation is general, being
independent of the methodi of -ýpropulsion used. The rel ns('readilye

This form, like eqiation (2-6a), is a little more accurate for large corrections.
If, in either the ground or air phase, F is readily estiz"ated, then the
ratio of drag to excess thrust required to apply equation (\4-3) and (4-5), may be
deduced from the relations

D - T - 1 (5-1)
or - w (hv/ 50/S
This is what, in effect, is done in deriving equations (4-1) arid (4-4). However,
manual computing would be greatly simplified by assuming generalized values for
SD-/(F- D) for ground and air phases. This seems to be practicable. Table I
below, lists estiimated value- of Lhis ratio for a number of airplanes, based
on values of (F-- _!W computed from test data and estimated values of D4vi
(for propeller airplanes) or F-v/ (jet airplanes). (An exception is the heavy
propeller airplane, for which the values are based on the firm's estimates of
performance.)
TAPLE I
It should be remarked that the estimates for the air phase are rather
rough, because the experimental values of (F- D) were usually very erratic.
This is a common feature of take-off data, which very probably results from
inaccuracies in the measurement of the airplane speeds at take-off and at 50
feet. This difficulty is, of course an argument against the direct use of
experimental speeds (as in enuation ý4-4), where they are used to calculate
hv).
On the basis of Table I, it is suggested that values of 0.3 for the ground
run and 0.6 for the air phase be used. These would aprear to be representative
values except when the accelerAtion is very poor, (say less than 0.1 g during
9
Technical Note R-12
the ground run) when almost any correction method is liable to give results.
In such cases, particular care should be taken either to run the tests under
conditions as near as possible to standard, or to test under a range of con-
ditions wide enough to give a check of the reduction formulae.
Equation (4-4) implies that hvt is computed from the test data. This is
probably the most satisfactory meth6d if precision is desired, despite the
difficulty of measuring VT -and V 50 accurately. However, if desired, a rather
rough estimate of hv could be made from generalized data. Similarly, when using
equation (4-5), computation of the test value of hv is probably desirable from the
j point of view of accuracy. The weight error correction is usually small, so the
decision will be determined mainly by the size of the term La/lq . For example,
if test conditions were 2000 feet pressure altitude and 35 0 C and standard condi-
tions were sea level 150 C lo'•u would be 0.13. An error of 0.3 in the value
assumed for hv/hv 7 50 would then lead to an error of 4% in the corrected air
distance. If this order of accuracy is sufficient for correction over so large
a range, as it may well be in many cases, then manual computation of the correct-
ion could be sinplified by assuming, say
hv - 0.4 for light airp-lanes
h /50
hv
hv ý50 0.7 for other airplanes
The figure of 0.7 is a little on the high side for present airplanes and allows
for some future increase in ratio. ',hen machine computing is used the simplifi-
cation has little value.
7. Thrust Correction:
10
j Technical Note R-12
the test distances in terms of the corrections required to bring the test
weight, air density, and thrust to standard. These equations are independent
of the particular method of propulsion and can be applied to airplanes having
propeller, turbojet, rocket or mixed propulsion systems provided all of the
systems operate throughout the take-off. Assistance which operates during
only part of the take-off is considered separately later in the report.
Rocket thrust does not vary with speed during take-off and the thrust of
the turbojet engine does not vary rapidly. Consequently, it is unnecessary
to correct the test thrust for the changes in mean speed between test and
standard conditions. With the turbojet engines, however, it is desirable to
estimate the test and standard thrusts at approximately the right speeds. It
is best to base these estimates on a measured test thrust and an estimated
correction, but failing this, the mean thrusts may be assumed to be, say,94%
of static thrust if the air intake pressure losses under static conditions
are not large. However, some care is necessary; for example use of an intake
designed for very high speed may result in a thrust which is relatively poor
under static conditions but recovirs during take-off as the velocity ratio
(inlet speed/free air speed) becomes smaller. The engineer must use his dis-
cretion in such cases.

8.1 Correction of 7hround Roll For Wind: Correction of the ground roll
for wind is presently made by the formula
S, -v_ (8-1)
w - head wind
13
Technical Note R-12
The exponent is usually taken to be 1.85 or 1.9. This formula was derived
empirically many years ago, so it seemed desirakie to re-examine it. The
above ratio has therefore been computed over a range of J-/VT assuming
The figures of 80% and 40% are representative of jet and propeller airplanes
respectively. The ratio so computed is plotted in Figure 4, together with
that given by the empirical equation. The curves for assumption (a) and (b)
were indistinguishable over the range shown.
It will be seen that the cases differ little up to very high wind speeds,
and also that the empirical formula agrees excellently. As its form is very
convenient it is, therefore, proposed to retain it.
8.2 Correction of Air Phase for Wind: The test air distance is
presently corrected for wind by adding the drift, i.e., the product of the
headwind and the time in the air phase. Th:i3 co-rrection is exact (apart from
wind gradients) and will be retained.
8.3 Correction for Runway Slope: An uphill slope sin ý will decrease
the excess thrust available for accelerating the airplane by W sin .
Following the method of section 2.2, working with a mean excess thrust, we
have equation (2-2).

As has already been remarked, rocket assistance over the whole of the
take-off is no different in principle from any other method of providing the re-
quired thrust. Many ATO units are, however, of limited endurance and are operated
only over the last part of the take-off, when their assistance is most helpful, It
is this "part-time" feature of ATO which necessitates a separate treatment.

(a) will be the more usual case, but (b) may be needed for the case of a short
runway with no obstructions ahead of it.
Consider first the air phase. The ATO units will probably be fired too
early or too late to burn out at exactly the desired point, so correction must
be made. The test mean thrust is deduced by inserting test values of FR, SR,
and S in equation (9-1) above. The standard mean thrust is also easily deduced,
as the ratio SR/S will be equal to unity in case (a), and zero in case (b).
Standardization is then effected by substituting these mean thrusts in equation
(4-5).
Now consider the ground phase. Again, the test mean thrust is readily
evaluated using equation (9-1). The point at which the ATO is fired under
standard conditions, must, however, be adjusted to make it burn out at 50 feet
or at unstick, as desired. To do this, we first estimate the firing time under
standard conditions during the air phase. In case (b) this is, of course, zero.
In case (a) we may approximate it by the equation
tRas 2 ZSa

If now, the time for which the ATO was operating in the air phase during the
test was tRa , we must correct the test time of ATO operation in the gou
phase by adding to it
(The thrust and endurance of the ATO units may be assumed equal under test and
standard conditions.) Allowing for this, it is shown in Appendix V that equation

This correction process is quite a little more complicated than that for take-

It would seem inevitable at the present time.
For airplanes using propeller thrust only for take-off it may be con-
venient to substitute from the proposed generalized thrust equations (7-4 or
(7-3) and (7-5) into equations (4-1) and (4-5).

With the simple turbojet airplane we can substitute for F/S in terms of N/0 ',

Thus, if the ground roll and distance to (50/8) feet were measured at the stan-
dard values of (N/IF) and (W/A) the standard values of ground roll and distance
to 50 feet could be very readily deduced. Alternatively, these standard values
could be deduced by interpolation from tests made over suitable ranges of N and
W.
With propeller airplanes also, substitution for F-/ is permissible since with a
propeller at given Mach number
F/, (11-3)
The mean Mach number of each phase is unchanged by test conditions if the lift
coefficients and W/S are held constant, so we may substitute from (11-3) into
(11-1) and write

Hence, the standard tests could be deduced directly from tests at the desired
values of the above three variables, or by interpolation. To be able to do
this one must be able to vary (3/ independently of N/4O. This can be done with
the usual piston engine installation with constant speed propeller but will be
impossible with some turbo-propeller installations with single coordinated
engine controls.
It should be noted that in the above it is assumed that the lift coefficient
at height 50/0 feet is unchanged in test conditions, whereas in the earlier treat-
ment in this Report the lift coefficient at height of 50 feet is assumed constant.
However, these assumptions will usually be identical.

These factors, 2.5, and 2.0, compare with 2.4 and 2.2 in the general equations.
The differences are not significant, as they correspond to about 1% of the
ground roll (3 ft) and 1-1/2% of the air distance (3 ft). The distance to 50
feet so corrected is plotted against gross weight in Figure 5 for concrete
and sod runway. ft will be seen that the distance to reach 50 feet from the
concrete runway is, after correction to sea level, about 20-30 feet less than
that from the sod runway. This difference, about 10% of the ground roll, is
roughly what would be expected from the difference in runway surface. Thus,
the data indicate that the proposed reduction formulae are not seriously in
error as far as pressure corrections are concerned.
To check the weight correction, a plot has also been made in Figure 5
of logl 0 5o against log1 o.
0 The proposed relations for ground and air distances
would cor espond to a slope of 2.3 for the total distance to 50 feet. This also
is plotted in the Figure 5. It will be seen that the proposed slope agrees sat-
isfactorily, particularly as test weights on such airplanes differ little from
standard, and hence, no great degree of precision is required of the correction.
Medium Propeller Airplane: The tests on this airplane covered a wide range
of weight, 100,000 to 160,000 lbs,, but insufficient range of other parameters
to give a satisfactory check of the reduction formulae. The test data have been
corrected to a selected power and to standard air temperate and air pressure. The
corrected distance is plotted against gross weight in Figures 6A and 6B, again on
a logarithmic scale. To reduce scntter, the ground rolls have been corrected to
a mean lift coefficient, The slopes given by the generalized equations are drawn
in; it will be seer, that the proposed slopes agree with the test data within the
errors of the data,
Heavy Propeller Airplane: Tests on the Model P,and M'odel B of this type
each covered a wide range of weight. Taken together, (the airplanes being very
similar) they also covered a considerable range of air temperature and power.
The ground rolls and the air distances have been corrected to constant
lift coefficients at take-off and at 50 feet, to 150 C. sea level and 3000BHP/
engine. They are plotted against weight using a logarithmic scale in Figure 7A.
The slope corresponding to the proposed correction has been drawn in. It will
be seen that the proposed slope fits the experimental data very well. There is
no difference apparent between the two models. The distances have been further
corrected for weight, asing the proposed correction, andi~are plotted against
power and air density in Figure 7D. It will be seen that the ground roll
corrections appear to bring the test data together well within the experimental
scatter. The evidence for the air phase is le3s satisfactor-j, but does not disprove
the proposed corrections.

In figures 8A and 8B log S 9t and log $50t are plotted against log Tat for each
combination of W and • , a:Wd lines are drawn through the experimental points with
a slope of 2.7. It will then be seen that these lines agree well with the exper-
imental points.
Accepting this relption between distance and air temperature the test dis-
tances have been corrected for temperature. The logarithm of the distances so
corrected are plotted against log Q/6 in Figure 8C. It will be seen these points
also agree well with the predicted slopes.
Thus, the tests on this airplane agree very well with the proposed rediction
Jet Fighter t;o. 2: The tests on this airplane were designed, as were
those on Jet Fi.;hter No. 1, to determine the take-off performance over a wide
range of Oir temperature and pressure and a moderate range of weight.
The equations for the ground roll and air distance were dedaced as for
Jet Fighter ½o. 1. They were
As the air distance is only about 20% of the total, we may deduce as the relation
for the total distance to 50 feet
As with the previous examnple, logl 0 S, and log 1 0 S 5 have first been plotted

Technical Note R-12
against loglO Tat (OK) for the experimental data for each value of W and
to check the proposed temperature correction (Figures 9A and 9B), and curves
with the predicted slopes have been drawn through the groups of points. It
will be seen that the proposed correction is satisfactory, although the data
suggests that it may be a little too large.
The values of log1 o Sgt and log1 0 350t given by these curves for 22 0 C
(log Tat = 2.47) have been cross-plotted against log 10 (W1, ) in Figure 9C. Here
it will be seen that the data for the two gross weights fit together well, but
that the experimental slope is no greater than 2.0 and markedly less than the
predicted slope of 2.3. So low a slope for ground roll is hard to explain
if it is accepted that all take-offs were made at indicated speeds 130 mph and
120 mph at the high and low gross weights respectively, as a slope of 2.0 would
only be expected if there were no drag. However, in the absence of measured
take-off speeds, further investigation is not possible. This apparent error
of 15% in prediction would lead to an error in the corrected distances of 1% for
every 1000 feet difference between test and standard altitudes. This would ap-
pear tolerable. Later tests on another model, not reproduced here because the
results were much more scattered, also tended to support a slope against log
W/S of 2.0 or less.
Medium Jet Bomber: This case has been approached differently, using
the Operating Manual. Accepting the figurev given by the performance charts
for the ground roll under one set of conditions, the proposed reduction form-
ulae have been used to compute the performance under widely different condi-
tions. This computed performance has then been compared with that given by
the charts. The results were as follows:

DISCUSSION:
26
Technical Note R-12
The basic formulae can be used, with suitable numerical constants, for
any propulsive system, including mixed systems, and systems using part time
assistance or boost. The Pormulae should be easy to apply, with the possible
exception of that for part-time assistance; even then, the complication is not
great.
For fixed pitch propeller airplanes, the corrections for weight and air
pressure check satisfactorily with experiment, No data were available by
which to check the temperature corrections.
For airplanes with constant speed propellers, the weight corrections check
well with experiment over a wide range of test weight. The power and density
corrections could not be fully checked with the data available, but they were
shown to at least approximate the correct values.
It should be noted that these formulae should not be used to correct for
big differences between test and s andard conditions if the take-off accelera-
tion is very low (for example if(VT/2g Sg) is less than Ol in consistent
units). For such cases any general method of standardization other than one
based on interpolation between test data is liable to be inaccurate, and care
should be taken either to make tests under near standard conditions or to
cover a large enough range of test conditions to permit reliable interpolation
or extrapolation.
The methods assume that the lift coefficients under test and standard
conditions are the same both at take-off and at 50 feet. This assumption has
been made on general grounds rather than from empirical analysis.
From the brief consideration given them, it appears that, in some cases
at least, non-dimensional methods may be an attractive alternative to the above
methods, requiring no numerical assumptions about thrust changes whether of a
propeller or a turbo jet engine. This type of method is being further considered
as a separate project.
Correction formulae have been derived which are easy to ase and apply, with

INTRODUCTI 011:
The excess thrust and hence the acceleration decrease with increase of
airspeed until at take-off, they are about 80% (for jet airplanes) or 40%
(for propeller airplanes) of their initial values. The slope of the curve
can usually be approximated closely by assuming it to be linear with regard
to either speed or speed squared. Representative cases are shown in Figure
l10 We will show that in either case, a figure of 0o75 VT for V will give
an acceleration very close to the true value over the required range of
slopes. This being so, this value for V should be satisfactory.

Safe Sopeed
INTRODUCTION:
If the airplane takes off at the minimum safe speed, it has at that moment
no excess of lift over weight with which to change the direction of motion.
However, as the airplane accelerates the lift available without exceeding the
makximum safe lift coefficient increases, and it becomes possible to pull the
airplane up into a climb. This maneuver can be continued, using the raximum
safe lift coefficient throughout, until the airplane either reaches 50 ft.,
or the angle at which it can climb steadily.

The Equations of Motion: We will assume that the thrust and drag remain

The standard effective mrean thrtit in the air panee Is either zero (ATO to r,':-
at take-off) or equal to the actunl ATO thrust (ATO to last to 50 ft.). The
standard effective menn thrist in the iro-ind roll, however, depends on the tiwe
