Question:

A propeller is being selected for an airplane that will cruise at 2000 m altitude, where the pressure is 60 kPa absolute and the temperature is 10°C. The mass of the airplane is 1200 kg, and the planform area of the wing is 10 m2. Th e lift -to-drag ratio is 30:1. The lift coefficient is 0.4. The engine speed at cruise conditions is 3000 rpm. The propeller is to operate at maximum efficiency, which corresponds to a thrust coefficient of 0.025. Calculate the diameter of the propeller and the speed of the aircraft .
