Chapter 3, Problem 3.19P

A typical World War I biplane fighter (such as the French SPAD shown in Figure 3.50) has a number of vertical interwing struts and diagonal bracing wires. Assume for a given airplane that the total length for the vertical struts (summed together) is 25 ft. and that the struts are cylindrical with a diameter of 2 in. Assume also that the total length of the bracing wires is 80 ft. with a cylindrical diameter of 3 32 in. Calculate the drag (in pounds) contributed by these struts and bracing wires when the airplane is flying at 120 mi/h at standard sea level. Compare this component of drag with the total zero-lift drag for the airplane, for which the total wing area is 230 ft 2 and the zero-lift drag coefficient is 0.036.
