🛫To maintain a steady speed along the flight path in a climb, additional Thrust is required to balance the backward component of Weight.

🛫This additional Thrust required is called Excess Thrust.

🛫Excess Thrust is the Thrust available from the engine(s) after aerodynamic Drag is balanced.

🛫it can be seen that the forward acting force in green, is now the same as the two rearward acting forces in red and the aeroplane will maintain a steady speed along its new flight path.

🛫To maintain a steady climb with no loss of speed, Thrust must balance not only the aerodynamic Drag, but also the backward component of Weight.
