Question: Consider the Viper Jet Mk 2 : Takeoff Weight = 5 , 1 0 0 lbf . Fuel Weight = 1 , 7 0 0

Consider the Viper Jet Mk2:
Takeoff Weight =5,100 lbf.
Fuel Weight =1,700 lbf.
Maximum Thrust at Sea Level: 2,850 lbf.
CD0=0.0157;S=114.1ft2;e=0.845;AR=6.79;,TSFC=0.981hr
1. Calculate its CL for the best L/D.
2. Calculate its CL for the best range.
3. Calculate its maximum L/D.
4. Calculate its velocity for hest RC at a weight of 4,250lbf. and standard sea level conditions.
5. Calculate the RC at the velocity of the previous question.
6. Calculate its velocity for best L/D at a weight of 4,250lbf. and standard sea level conditions.
7. How much thrust does it need from the engine to maintain the flight regime of the previous question?
8. Calculate its velocity for the best range at the same weight and an altitude of 30,000ft.
9. Calculate the best range of the aircraft if it uses the first 5% of fuel during warm-up, take-off, climb to cruise altitude, and 3% remains for landing as reserve. Assume an initial cruise altitude of 30,000ft.
10. Calculate the best endurance of the aircraft at sea level, with only the reserve fuel.
