Question: 2 . 2 Stall and Steady Flight Lines Begin with the stall lines at the left side of the flight envelope. They come from n

2.2 Stall and Steady Flight Lines
Begin with the stall lines at the left side of the flight envelope. They come from
n=LiftWeight, and ,Vstall=2nmgSCLmax2
Solve for n in terms of the stall speed Vstall, noting you will have two curves, one each for the positive and negative load factor n corresponding to the positive and negative lift coefficients CLmax and -CLmax.
Find the positive and negative speeds VS needed for steady, level flight by calculating the speed for n=1 and n=-1(it is acrobatic, so... inverted?).
Also find the speed at points A&G in the figure, denoted as VA and VG, by calculating where the positive and negative stall lines meet the load factor limits, i.e.,n=5.5 and n=-4, respectively.
2.3 Plotting Without Gusts
We will make the plot in four steps. Before starting, note the design cruise and dive speeds VC and VD from the problem statement since we will use them:
Plot the positive and negative stall lines, OA and OG in the figure.
Plot the maximum positive and negative load factor lines, AD and GF respectively, by simply plotting the positive nmax=5.5 from VA to VD and the negative nmax=-4 from VG to VC.
Plot the right side of the envelope in two segments: from D straight down to a load factor n=0 and a straight line from F to this
