An airplane is flying at 15,000 feet at mach 0.6. What is the true airspeed? What temperature and total pressure would be measured on the pitot probe? If the airplane decreased its speed by 10 percent, what would be the new temperature, pressure, and density?
Problem 7 (4 marks) Consider a light, single-engine, propeller-driven airplane similar to a Cessna Skylane The airplane weight is 2950 lb and the wing reference area is 174ft2. The drag coefficient of the airplane Co is a function of the lift coefficient CL, such that C 0.025+0.054i a) For a steady level flight at sea level, where the ambient atmospheric density is 0.002377slug/ft3, plot on a graph the variation of Cu, CD, and the lift-to-drag ratio (L/D) with flight velocity...
A light airplane attains an airspeed (speed of the plane with
respect to the air) of 500km/hr. The pilot sets out for a
destination 800km due north, but discovers that the plane must be
pointed 20.0◦ east of due north for the plane to reach there
directly (i.e., the nose/front of the plane is pointed 20.0◦ east
of due north, but the plane itself moves due north as seen by
someone on the ground). The plane arrives in 2.00hr. P,...
1. An airplane weighs 18,000lbs. The local gravitational acceleration g is 32fps^2. What is the mass of the airplane? 2.The same airplane accelerates down the runway with a net force of 6000lb. What is the acceleration of the airplane? 3.If the same airplane as above airplane starts from a brakes locked position on the runway and it takes off at an airspeed of 200fps. What is the time for the aircraft to reach take-off speed? 4.Under no-wind conditions, what take-off...
Problem 8: A simplified model of a glider is where y is the flight path angle in radians, v is the airspeed in m/sec, n -L/mg is the load factor, L is the lift in Newtons, m is the mass in kg, and k 61.6594 and k 4.8747x103 are constants for the glider. (a) Given that y -0.15 rad, and the airspeed is 50.8691 m/sec, find the necessary load factor to maintain equilibriunm (b) Let the state vector be [7...
2. A recreational airplane has a rectangular wing of constant chord c 1.0m and spanb 10m which uses the same airfoil section from tip to tip. The lift curve slope of this airfoil is shown in the figure below. It is flying at the cruising speed of 50m/s through SSL ISA conditions. Assuming no 3D (finite span) effects (we will cover these in subsequent weeks), compute the following: (a) Cruising at sea level the angle of attack of the wing...

An airplane is heading due north at a constant height with an airspeed of 950 km/h, but there is a constant wind blowing from the northeast at 100 km/h. We will use two-dimensional vectors to work out how far off course the plane is blown, and what its ground speed is. (a) Write down a vector, p, that represents the intended flight path of the plane in one hour. (b) Write down a vector, w, that represents the movement of...
