Category: Loading and Performance
“Total range is dependent on both fuel available and specific range. When range and economy of operation are the principal goals, the remote pilot must ensure that the sUAS is operated at the recommended long range cruise condition. By this procedure, the sUAS will be capable of its maximum design-operating radius, or can achieve lesser flight distances with a maximum of fuel reserve at the destination

54. A
Category: Loading and Performance
“The maximum endurance condition is obtained at the point of minimum power required since this would require the lowest fuel flow or battery to keep the sUAS in steady, level flight. Maximum range condition occurs where the proportion between speed and power required is greatest. Reference: FAA-H-8083-25”

Category: Loading and Performance
“when the angle of attack is increased to between 18 and 20 degrees (critical angle of attack) on most airfoils the airstream can no longer follow the upper curvature of the wing because of the excessive change in direction. The airfoil will stall if the critical angle of attack is exceeded. The airspeed at which stall occurs will be determined by weight and load factor, but the stall angle of attack is the same.
