1. Suppose you are flying a 7,784 kilograms aircraft at 14,630 meters where the air density is 0.2062 kilograms/cubic meter. Your current cruising speed is 290 kilometers/hour (108 m/s) and the wing area of the aircraft is 186 square meters. You need to make some altitude changes and will need to know the "Lift Coefficient" of the aircraft in order to do so. What is theCl for your aircraft?
After deploying its drag parachute, a landing airplane has an acceleration a= - 0.004 v2 m/s2. (a) Determine the time required for the velocity to decrease from 80 m/s to 20 m/s. (b) What distance does the plane cover during that time? A similar airplane is accelerating forward. Due to its engines there is a propulsion force of 1500000 N. Also, there is a drag force which can be modelled as 75 v2. The mass of the airplane is 150000 kg. (c) What is the distance covered by the airplane from when it starts accelerating (standstill) to when the velocity is 400 km/h?
The drag equation for the Gofaster 172 is: D = 0.0003v2A. D is drag in pounds; v is airspeed in feet/second; and A is aircraft frontal area in square feet. At maximum airspeed, D = 140 lbs. How much does max airspeed INCREASE if the fuselage is narrowed such that frontal area A is reduced from 16 ft2 to 14 ft2? Give the answer in ft/sec AND mph. drag is 140 lbs. at maximum airspeed, regardless of frontal area. the question is: what is the INCREASE in max airspeed, not what is the max airspeed.
A road haulage truck has an approximate rectangular frontal area 2.5 m wide by 3.8 m high. To investigate the drag on the truck, a one – fifth scale model is to be tested in a wind tunnel. We can assume that the density and viscosity of the air are the same for the model as for the full size truck. If the truck travels at 120 km/h, what is the appropriate air speed for the model in the wind tunnel?
