Angle of climb Angle of climb In aerodynamics, climb gradient is the ratio between distance travelled over the ground and altitude gained, and is expressed as a percentage. The angle of climb can be defined as the angle between a horizontal plane representing the Earth's surface and the actual flight path followed by the aircraft during its ascent. The speed of an aircraft type at which the angle of climb is largest is called V. It is always slower than V, the speed for the best rate of climb. As the latter gives the quickest way for gaining altitude levels, regardless of the
Type 90 Kyū-maru kW (1,500 horsepower). The hydropneumatic suspension units are mounted on the front and rear pair of road wheels, which can be adjusted on-the-fly to deal with uneven terrain, a requirement on Japan's rough, mountainous terrain. According to the Japanese Ministry of Defense official data report, the acceleration of the type is 0–200 m in 20 seconds. The Type 90 has an approximate unit cost of 790 million Japanese yen or approximately 7.4 million US dollars at 2008 exchange rates. 341 Type 90 tanks were produced between 1990 and 2009 with an average annual production number of 19 vehicles.
