Question 2 - Gliding Range (7 Points): A Boeing 777 300ER aircraft (on a flight from Istanbul to New York) losses both engines at an altitude of 12 km as it flies over the Atlantic ocean. Use the technical data from Question 1. a) If the closest airport is 2,000 km (at sea level) from the location of the aircraft at the moment of failure, could this aircraft glide safely to this airport? b) What is the best angle of attack (in degrees)? c) How can one design an aircraft to reduce the risk of flight over vast sections of water?
