Abstract

A modification of the MacCready speed ring is proposed. The modified ring, which could be added as a second scale to a standard ring, is desigired to give the pilot optimun speeds to fly between straightaway climbs. In order to arrive at a simple arrangenent, it is necessary to assume a fixed value for airspeed in the straight climb. Assuming climbs at the airspeed for minimum sink rate corresponds to a practical strategy. A numerical exanple is provided.
