Consider an airplane patterned after the Beechcraft Bonanza V-tailed, single-engine light private airplane. The characteristics of the airplane are as follows: aspect ratio \(=6.2\), wing area \(=181\mathrm{ft}^{2}\), Oswald efficiency factor \(=0.91\), weight \(=3500\mathrm{lb}\), and zero-lift drag coefficient \(=0.027\). The airplane is powered by a single piston engine of 345 hp maximum at sea level. Assume the power of the engine is proportional to free-stream density. The two-blade propeller has an efficiency of 0.83. Estimate the sea level landing ground roll distance for the airplane. Assume that the airplane is landing at full gross weight. The maximum lift coefficient with flaps at touchdown is 1.8. Assume the coefficient of rolling friction \(\mu_{r}=0.4\). After touchdown, assume zero lift. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)
The sea level landing ground roll distance for the airplane is
