6a A plane of mass 150000 kg is flying through the air at a constant altitude at a speed of 250 m/s. The plane has a wingspan of 60 m. What lift force must the wings provide? Please provide your answer in N. 1470000 3 20. 6b Assuming the air density is 0.0040 kg/m³ and the drag coefficient is 0.47, what thrust force must the engines provide? You may approximate the plane as a sphere of diameter 60 m 6a A plane of mass 150000 kg is flying through the air at a constant altitude at a speed of 250 m/s. The plane has a wingspan of 60 m.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

SOLUTION 6a To calculate the lift force we need to use the lift equation Lift 05 v2 A Cl where Lift is the lift force in N is the air density in kgm v is the speed of the plane in ms A is the wingspan ... View the full answer
