Question
1. Consider an light plane aircraft with a characteristic of:
Wing area = 181 ft2
Aspect ratio = 6.2
Oswald efficiency = 0.91
Weight = 3000lb
Zero lift drag coefficient = 0.027
Powerplant = single piston engine of 345 hp maximum at sea level
Propeller efficiency = 0.83
Calculate the:
a) Power required at sea level at 100ft/s
b) Power required at 12,000ft altitude at 100ft/s
c) Minimum power required
d) Power available at 100m/s
From the aircraft characteristic above, and maximum rate of climb at sea level of 550ft/min
Calculate the:
a) rate of climb at 12,000ft altitude
b) time to climb at 12,000ft altitude
c) power excess at 12,000ft altitude
