climbing speed

Conventional climbing speed would be somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 feet per minute.

Some idea of the mountain goat's steady strength can be gained by comparing its climbing speed with our own.

At a 1,000-foot elevation Cardif reduced climbing speed to about 15 feet per second.

The stepping and patented brake system deliver a choice of climbing speeds that range from 10 to 200 feet per minute.

Tom knew the MiG could never match the Eagle in climbing speed.

Their location also suggests a climbing speed of approximately 275 vert-ft/hr, good time for the altitude and an indication the oxygen systems were working perfectly.

Even for somebody nicknamed El Cometa for his climbing speed, there is a lot of there there.

Terray, frequently with climbing partner Louis Lachenal, broke previous climbing speed records.

But climbing speed drops quickly with altitude (Hillary and Norgay managed only 150 vf/h above 28,000 ft).

Although it seems that the smallest male will have the greatest advantage in male to male competition, there is actually an optimal body size that favors climbing speed.

The pilot misjudged the performance capabilities of the aircraft, in that he attempted to climb at a speed below the minimum safe climbing speed of the aircraft.

It is typical for large hills to split up pelotons, as the aerodynamic factors are much less important at slower climbing speeds and power-to-weight ratio is the key determinant of speed.

The D.520 was designed in response to a 1936 requirement from the Armée de l'Air for a fast, modern fighter with a good climbing speed and an armament centred around a 20 mm cannon.

The diving and climbing speed were very good as well (the Italian SM.79 took 17 minutes to reach 5,000 m, compared to 14 for the LeO), even if not that useful for a bomber.

If witness accounts of visibility are correct, the pilots should have transferred to Instrument Flight Rules; which would require the pilots to slow down the aircraft and climb to a safe altitude at the best climbing speed.

Any rider, of course, can improve his climbing speed by increasing his aerobic power and reducing his body weight and can increase his descending speed through better bike handling and the willingness to accept an increased risk of crashing.

Performance tests showed that the Mk 47 was slightly slower than the Mk 46 in maximum and climbing speeds, mainly due to the long supercharger air intake, which was less efficient than the shorter type fitted to earlier Seafires.

Poli calculated that if he broke away from the peloton by a sufficient margin on the flat run to the base of the climb of the Mont Ventoux, he would reach the summit in front in spite of his relatively poor climbing speed due to his heavy 197 cm frame.
