Question: A light plane ( weight 1 0 kN ) has a wingspan of 1 0 m and a chord length of 1 . 5 m

A light plane (weight 10 kN ) has a wingspan of 10 m and a chord length of 1.5 m . If the lift characteristics of the wing are like those given in Figure Q1, what must be the angle of attack for a takeoff speed of 140kmh? Calculate the stall speed? Assume two passengers at 800 N each and standard atmospheric conditions. Explain why the stall speed of a plane is typically lower than the takeoff speed.
