An aircraft designer is considering the design of an aircraft wing. The wing is to be straight and is to have the same airfoil section all the way along the span; this 2D section has a lift curve slope of 5.9 per radian and a zero-lift angle of attack of -1.2°. It can be assumed that the span efficiency factor will be equal to 0.9. It is proposed that the aircraft will be cruising at Mach 0.57 at an 5° angle of attack.a) Calculate the 3D lift coefficient if: a. The wing area is 170m2 and the wingspan is 40m. b. The wing area is 170m2 and the wingspan is 25m. b) What is the key disadvantage of a low aspect ratio wing for subsonic aircraft?
You’re using a system of multiple simple machines to move a 1500 N load up a height of 2 meters. You have a wheel barrow which is a combination of a lever and a wheel/axle, and you’ll be using a ramp (inclined plane). What length ramp do you need to achieve the actual mechanical advantage from using the wheel-barrow? The height is set at 2 meters. Assume the efficiency of the inclined plane (ramp) is 100% (so your ideal, or design, mechanical advantage is your actual mechanical advantage).
During steady motion of a vehicle on a level road, the power delivered to the wheels is used to overcome aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance (the product of the rolling resistance coefficient and the weight of the vehicle), assuming the friction at the bearings of the wheels is negligible. Consider a car that has a total mass of 950 kg, a drag coefficient of 0.32, a frontal area of 1.8 m2, and a rolling resistance coefficient of 0.04. The maximum power the engine can deliver to the wheels is 80 kW. Determine (a) the speed at which the rolling resistance is equal to the aerodynamic drag force and (b) the maximum speed of this car. Take the air density to be 1.20 kg/m3.
