Consider the Bede BD-5J small jet airplane. It has an MTOW of 960 lb, a maximum fuel capacity of 330 lb, a wing reference area of 37.8 ft and a specific fuel consumption of 1.3 lb lb hr. Its drag polar is approximated by CD = 0.02 +0.062 C. It is currently flying at an altitude of 10 000 ft and has consumed 45 lb of fuel during start-up, taxi, take-off and climb. 70 lb of fuel are required for descent, landing, taxi, shutdown and reserves. Estimate the lift-to-drag ratio L/D, airspeed v (kts), endurance E (hr) and range R (nm) with available fuel (a) for the best possible loiter, and (b) for the best possible cruise. Additionally, (c) calculate ratios between the above parameters (e.g. (L/D)t/(L/D)er, Ult/ver, etc.) and discuss.
