Johnson Date June 4, 1936 LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORP. Page 1 Model 10E Report No 487 INTRODUCTION. ************* This report contains a complete study of the factors determining the maximum practical range of the Lockheed Electra Model 10E bimotor airplane. The problem is gone into in considerable length in order that complete recommendations may be made as to optimum methods of take-off, climb and level flight. Such factors as the effect of altitude, wind, variation of propulsive efficiency at constant forward speed, and variation of specific fuel consumption are all included in the study. As a summary, curves are given showing the recommended values of the above throughout a flight of the greatest possible range. The airplane under consideration is a Model 10E Electra equipped with Pratt and Whitney S3H1 engines rated 600 BHP at 2300 rpm for take-off and not more than 412 BHP at 2000 rpm for cruising. To enable close control to be maintained over the mixture strength, a Cambridge gas analyzer is connected into the exhaust system. Hamilton Standard constant rpm, controllable pitch propellers are used. Added to this equipment is a Sperry Gyro-Pilot to lessen fatigue during long flights. The engine operating conditions have been given careful consideration in recommending a flight procedure. Combinations of rpm and manifold pressure are chosen with regard to engine reliability and smoothness as well as optimum propulsive efficiency. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS. ***************************************** The complete performance has been computed conservatively based on actual flight test results on Model 10E*. Fuel consumption data is based on results which have been obtained in flight with careful mixture control. To get a range of 4500 miles it will be necessary to calibrate the Cambridge Analyzer so that the fuel consumption curve shown on page 13 can be obtained. FORM 100 Analysis Range Prepared by C.L. Johnson LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORP. Date June 14, 1936 Page 2 Model 10E Report No SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS. ***************************************** The important results from the report may be summarized as follows: (1). Best take–off distance is obtained using a 30° wing flap setting. The tail of the airplane should be lifted off the ground as soon as possible and held up through the take–off run. (2). On a hard run–way, using 600 BHP per engine, the take-off distance is 2100 feet at sea level. (3). Climb after take-off with a gross weight of 16,500# is 500 feet per minute with wing flaps at 30° (using take-off power). (4). After obtaining a safe altitude (50 to 100 feet), the flaps should be retracted and the engine power reduced to 550 BHP per engine at 2200 rpm. (5). The climb should be continued at this power to an altitude of 2000'. (6). At 2000', the power should be reduced to 380 BHP/engine and the flight continued at the values of altitude, power, rpm and speed shown on the inclosed curve. (7). During the maximum range flight, the following considerations apply: FORM 100 a. Variation of altitude from that specified by amounts as much as 2000' (except in the heavy load condition) has very little effect on the range. b. With headwinds or tails winds up to 20 mph, the best airspeed is wthin 5 mph of that shown on the flight procedure curve. c. When the wind increases with altitude, the load condition, and power conditions should be carefully considered when choosing an altitude different than that shown on the curves. No strict rules can be given covering the optimum flight procedure with varying wind gradients with altitude. d. Increase the power output when climbing from one altitude to another. Climb at an indicated speed of 120 to 130 mph. 487 Analysis Range Page Prepared by C.L. Johnson LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORP. Date June 16, 1936 3 Model 10E Report No 487 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS. ****************************** Continuing the di scuss ion of important factors during the maximum range f l ight – e. Watch the mixture closely at all times. The engines must be run very lean. f. In climb when the power output is increased, check the mixture and head temperatures. g. When about 100 to 150 miles from the end of the flight, put the ship in a power glide losing about 250 to 300 feet of altitude per minutes while maintaining cruising power output. h. The best average altitude at which to fly and the best power output are shown on the flight procedure curve. The lighter the load, the higher the density altitude for best range. i. Standard carburetor air temperature has been assumed in choosing manifold pressures and rpm to obtain a given power. Normal deviations of carburetor air temperature likely to be encoucntered may be neglected. j. If icing conditions are encountered, so that carbu retor heat must be applied, the mixture may have to be richened somewhat to prevent detonation in the engines. Normally, the carburetor heat should be set to “FULL COLD”. DISCUSSION. *********** The computations and most of the basic curves are given in an attached appendix. In attacking the problem, complete calculations of the altitude–speed–power characteristics of the airplane with three different gross weights were made to get the optimum operating conditions. Most of the final curves are derived using graphical in– tegration of the basic curves. Methods of computation are given in the Appendix and no further discussion on procedure will be given here. Perhaps the simplest way to give the results of the complete study is to comment on each of the final curves presented. FORM 100 Analysis Range Page Prepared by C.L. Johnson Date June 16, 1936 LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORP. 4 Model 10E Report No 487 DISCUSSION OF CURVES DERIVED. *************************** The various c urves are denoted by f igure numbers at the bottom of each sheet. The impor tant points about each f igure will be discussed in tur n: FIGURE I . This is the curve sheet which summarizes the results of the maximum range study. Star ting with a g ross weight of 16,500# (1200 gallons of fuel), the elapsed time and distance in air miles is shown plotted against the optmum operating conditions of the airplane and engine. This curve should g reatly simplify the pilot’s duties. FIGURE II . The ef fect of head winds and tail winds on the optimum f light speed for a typical case is plotted. For a 20 mph head wind, the indicated airspeed should be increased about 4 mph for the heavy load conditioin. For the 20 mph tail wind, the speed should be decreased about the same amount. Values for other load conditions and wind speeds can be obtained from this char t. It applies exactly to sea level only, but the trends shown apply fairly well to the range of altitudes likely to be used. FIGURE I I I . The best speeds, power output and the elapsed time for the longest range f light using the most conservative fuel consumption curve is plotted against distance. This curve was modified and approx– imated to get F igure I. It is interesting to note that over a fairly wide range of power and speeds, the airplane e f f i c i e n c y is constant, so that the same range can be obtained with considerable dif ference in elapsed time. The f light procedure outlined in F igure I is based on the lower power output at the beginning of the f light and the higher power over the g reater par t of the f l ight so that a low elapsed time can be obtained with the engine operating at its best ef f iciency and reliability. FIGURE IV . Figure IV shows the variation of gross weight and best altitude in the maximum range flight. FORM 100 Analysis Range Page Prepared by C.L. Johnson Date June 15, 1936 LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORP. 5 Model 10E Report No 487 DISCUSSION OF CURVES DERIVED. *************************** FIGURE V. F igure V shows the ef f ect of a l t i tude and power output on the air miles per gallon for the airplane at three d i f f erent g ross weights. Neg lecting any wind g radient, it wil l be seen from the curves how l i t t l e gain there i s in f ly ing at a high altitude over the major par t o f the distance considered. With the highest g ross weight, there is a def inite disadvantage in f lying higher than 2000’. FIGURE VI. This curve was derived to show the minimum amoun of fuel nec– essar y to go various distances less than the maximum range. It also shows the g ross weight with the above amount of fuel. In order to increase the cr uising speed for distances less than the maximum, more fuel than that shown wil l be taken along so that higher power outputs may be used. This curve is based on the conservative fuel consumption curve. FIGURE VII. F igure VII is a col l ect i on of various curves showing specif ic fuel consumption, optimum power and weight conditions and the ef f ect of g ross weight on best fuel consumption per mile. The fuel consumpt– ion curves are average propeller load curves which apply to the aver– age pitch settings of the propeller and throttle setting of the engine during the f l ight. The higher curve has been refer red to as the “con– servative curve”. The lower curve which reaches a minimum specif ic fuel conssumption of .42 #/BHP/Hr. is the one which must be obtained to get 4500 mile range. The other curvse shown on F igure VII are self explanator y. FIGURE VIII. F igure VIII i s also a col l ecti on of curves used to derive the best f light procedure. The decrease in miles per gallon with increased g ross weight, and the corresponding increase in speed for best range as the g ross weight is increased are ver y interesting. FIGURE IX. F igure IX gi ves the engine and propeller data for take–of f cal– culations and the ef fect of f lap setting on take–of f distance at sea level. The computations are based on having a good hard run–way and using the best take–of f technique. The tail should be lif ted as soon as possible for the minimum take–of f r un. The rate of climb af ter take–of f is also shown for al l f lap settings. FORM 100 Analysis Range Page Prepared by C. L. Johnson Date June 16, 1936 LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORP. 6 Model 10E Report No ADDITIONAL DATA. **************** Engine power curves of two types are included in Figures X and XI. The normal cruising chart at the ATC gross weight is also furnished on page 16. The increase in gross weight from 10,500# to the average weight throughout the maximum range f l i ght (namely 12,900#) cuts dow n the high speed to 200 mph at 10,000’ at 450 BHP output per engine. High speed at sea level with a gross weight of 16,500# and 450 BHP/engine is 177 mph. CONCLUSIONS. ************ As a result of the study just concluded, are obtained: (1). the following results It is possible to fly a Lockheed Electra Model 10E non–stop for a distance between 4100 and 4500 miles starting out with 1200 gal lons of gasoline and the proper amount of oil. (2). The above range is for zero wind conditions. The procedure outlined in this report should be followed to get optimum results. This is especially true in regard to maintaining proper engine mixture control. (3). The Cambridge Gas Analyzers should be carefully calibrated in flight to see if the fuel consumption data used in this analysi s can be obtained. This should be done before attempt– ing any long range flight. (4). The airspeed indicator must be c a l i b r a t e d for pitot–static position error. FORM 100 (5). Low power output f l i ghts should be made with the leanest mixture setting to be used to check the engine head temper– atures. They may run too cool so that a shutter arrangement might have to be made so that the head temperatures can be kept up to the value giving best engine e f f i c i e n c y . (6). Do not draw more than 600 BHP for one minute on the take–off. Cut back the power as soon as it is safe. 487 FORM 107 KEUFFEL & ESSER CO., N.Y. NO. 359-14 Millimeters, 10th line heavy.

R-CLJ LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT CORP. Page 20 Model 10–E Report No. 487 METHOD OF COMPUTATION The basic horsepower required curves are developed from flight test data and include an additional variation in "e" to account for the change in propulsive efficiency with angle of attack. Horsepower available curves are determined from the engine propeller characteristics. From these curves the cruising speeds at various power outputs and altitudes is determined and the optimum power – r.p.m. conditions selected for the engine. Complete data on the fuel consumption of the engine was not available so generalized data on aircooled engines was used. (see pg. ) From the known speeds and power outputs a chart of miles per gallon for various gross weights and alittudes was derived. From this chart the optimum power and altitudes for flight were selected and a graph of miles per gallon versus fuel load at any point during the trip was drawn up. Integration of this curve yields the range. Similarly, integration of the hours per mile versus miles travelled curve gives the elapsed time at any point during the trip. Range, elapsed time, optimum speeds, power output, and altitude are then plotted on pgs. and . A curve of the gallons of fuel necessary for any given range is also presented on pg .
