166 A conventional aircraft (tail to the rear) is in trimmed, level,
unaccelerated flight. The wing is generating 40,000 lb of lift and
has a moment around the aerodynamic center of -20,000 ft lb.
The aerodynamic center of the wing is located at 0.25c, the center
gravity is located at 0.45c, the aircraft has a chord of 5 ft, and
the symmetric tail aerodynamic center is located 10 ft behind the
center of gravity. What is the lift generated by the tail, and what
is the weight of the aircraft? (Hint: Draw a sketch and assume
thrust and all drag forces act through the center of gravity.)
