What is steady level flight?Show answer
In steady level flight (constant altitude, constant airspeed, no acceleration), both pairs of forces balance:
What is steady climb?Show answer
In a climb at angle at constant airspeed, the forces along the flight path and perpendicular to it must each balance:
What is steady descent?Show answer
In a descent at angle at constant airspeed:
