The “Change in Altitude” in aircraft design refers to the difference in altitude between two points in space or time. It represents the vertical distance an aircraft has ascended or descended during a specific period.
The formula to calculate the change in altitude is as follows:
- Change in Altitude is the vertical distance between the final and initial altitudes, typically measured in feet (ft) or meters (m).
- Final Altitude is the altitude at the end of the period or between two points in time.
- Initial Altitude is the altitude at the beginning of the period or between two points in time.
