a
Explain various types of drag and methods to minimize them. CO1 L2
or
An aircraft weighing 250000N has a wing area of 80sq.m.Its drag polar
equation is Cd=0.016+0.04Cl2.Estimate the minimum thrust required for
b straight and level flight and the corresponding true air speed at sea level. Also CO1 L2
estimate the minimum power required and corresponding true airspeed at sea
level.
11
Illustrate Brequet Range and Endurance equation for a Jet airplane. CO2 L3
a
or
While flying Straight and level at sea level at a speed of 120m/s, a pilot causes
his aircraft to climb steadily by increasing the thrust four times without
b altering the angle of incidence .Estimate the rate of climb if at the angle of CO2 L2
incidence ,L/D ratio is 10.
