Question: Consider an executive jet transport patterned after the Cessna 5 6 0 . The airplane is cruising at a velocity of 5 2 0 mph

Consider an executive jet transport patterned after the Cessna 560. The airplane is cruising at a velocity of 520 mph at an altitude of 33,000ft, where the ambient air density is 7.965610-4 slug/ft3. The weight and wing planform areas of the airplane are 17,000lb and 350ft2, respectively. The drag coefficient at cruise is 0.015. Calculate the lift coefficient and the lift-to-drag ratio at cruise. The Cessna can fly at a max speed of 550 mph and requires at least 120 mph to generate any lift. Calculate the maximum thrust generated by the Cessna and the maximum lift coefficient. Also calculate the maximum drag, maximum lift to maximum drag ratio (LmaxDmax) and the maximum lift to drag ratio (CLCD)max
