Throttle down for max-q
How does this actually help?
The aerodynamic forces on the craft are a function of its speed and air density. There's not much one can do about the speed, given that the craft is accelerating. If the craft accelerates more slowly overall, for each speed it will be traversing less dense air than it would do otherwise. But in that case, is there a benefit from high initial acceleration and then reducing acceleration on the approach to max-q? Is it really about reducing vibration loads during max-q? Sylvia. |
