Question: Information for Problems 4 through 1 3 : Consider an airplane patterned after the Fairchild Republic A - 1 0 , a twin - jet

Information for Problems 4 through 13:
Consider an airplane patterned after the Fairchild Republic A-10, a twin-jet attack aircraft.
The airplane has the following characteristics: wing area =47 m^2, aspect ratio =6.5, Oswald efficiency factor =0.87, maximum weight =103,047 N, a maximum fuel weight of 48,930 N, and a zero-lift drag coefficient of 0.032.
The airplane is equipped with two jet engines with 40.298 kN of static thrust at sea level per engine.
NOTE: The gravitational acceleration should be taken as 9.81 m/s^2.:
If the current aircraft weight is 80,365 N, assume max R/C varies linearly with altitude (not precise, but not a bad assumption) and use the sea level max R/C and the max R/C at 13,500 m to estimate the absolute ceiling of aircraft.
Express your answer in km up to 3 decimal places.
If the weight of the aircraft at takeoff is 56,578 N and the aircraft is taking off from an airport where the density is 1.217, estimate the liftoff distance.
Assume a paved dry runway with rolling coefficient 0.04.Also, during the ground roll, the angle of attack is restricted by the requirement that the tail not drag the ground. Hence, assume that CL,max during the ground roll is limited to 0.8.When the airplane is on the ground, the wings are 5 ft above the ground.
Express your answer in meters up to 3 decimal places.
Please input the lift-off velocity in m/s to 3 decimal places.
Please input the average velocity in m/s to 3 decimal places.
Please input the average dynamic pressure in Pa to 3 decimal places.
Please input the average lift in N to 3 decimal places.
Please input the average drag in N to 3 decimal places.
