30 Minute Climb
Each aircraft was loaded with 30 minutes worth of fuel and an air start
at 500 feet was used. The aircraft were allowed to accelerate on auto level
to 100mph then auto climb, on the default setting, was applied. The aircraft
were allowed to continue climbing for 30 minutes. The altitudes reached
after 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes were recorded.
