Problem 1.

The mass of an aeroplane is 2000 kg. At a certain speed in straight and level flight the ratio of lift to
drag of the complete aircraft is 7.5 to 1. If there is no force on the tail plane, what are the values of
the lift, thrust and drag?

Problem 2.

An aircraft has a mass of 7200 kg and a wing span of 12 m. If the wing loading is 1.968 kN/m2,
what is the induced drag when flying at speeds of 200 knots and 300 knots at sea-level?

Problem 3.

A propeller is revolving at 2600 rpm on an aircraft traveling at 280 knots. The thrust is 4 kN and the
torque 2500 N.m. What is the efficiency of the propeller?

Problem 4.

The efficiency of a propeller is 78%. At what forward speed will it provide a thrust of 3 kN when
driven by an engine of 210 kW power?

Problem 5.

A monoplane has a mass of 15 000kg, and has a span of 10m. What is the induced drag at –

(a) 120 knots, at sea-level

(b) 240 knots, at sea-level? (assume straight and level flight)
(c) at 40 000 ft at an indicated air speed of 240 knots?

Problem 6.

a. An aircraft of mass 15 000 kg is a monoplane of 20 m span. Calculate the induced drag at sea-
level at speeds ranging from 80 to 400 knots. Plot the results in the form of a graph of speed
against induced drag.

b. The following table gives the values of all the drag except induced drag (i.e. of form drag + skin
friction) of the aircraft in question a. at various speeds at sea-level.

Plot these values on the graph drawn previously in question a, and construct a graph showing the
variation of the total drag with air speed.

c. What percentage of the total drag is induced drag at 120, 200, 280 and 360 knots?

d. At what speed is the induced drag exactly half the total drag?

(Note. This speed is the speed for minimum total drag. Keep these graphs; they will be referred to
in later lesson)
Problem 7.

The jet velocity of a gas turbine on the ground is 400 m/s; if the mass flow is 18 kg per second,
what thrust does it produce?
