Question

The calculations in turboprop aircraft are done in a continuous function.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This is a very interesting question from Cruising Performance in chapter Cruising Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) False

Best explanation: The calculations in turboprop aircraft are done in a point to point manner and not in a continuous function. This is because the proportions of thrust and power are independent of speed and engine output. So there is a need for the calculations of each combination of engine power setting and aircraft speed.
