Study of effects of various operational parameters, including engine power, cruising altitude, and rate of descent; results show that for both conventionally powered and turbojet powered airplanes, best economy and highest block speeds are obtained by climbing rapidly, cruising at high altitude, and using as much power as practicable; DC-3 and DC-6 type planes used as examples.
