(flying by the numbers)

This section of the site contains rules of thumb and raw aircraft and engine data for people who like those things.

Rules of Thumb

Quick (and some not-so-quick) calculations for aircraft performance and navigation.

O-320 Power Settings

This page should be roughly applicable to any normally-aspirated aircraft piston engine hooked up to a fixed-pitch cruise propeller. It uses different colours in a table to show the relationship between RPM, density altitude, and engine power for small-aircraft pilots.

Linear Aerodynamic Coefficients

This page contains linear aerodynamic coefficients for a selection of aircraft ranging from a Cessna 182 to a Boeing 747-200.
