Question:

The maximum takeoff mass for a Boeing 777-300ER passenger jet is 3.5 × 105 kg. The plane’s wing area is about 440 m2. Compute the average air pressure on the plane’s wings required to overcome the plane’s weight and lift the plane off the ground. How far does this pressure deviate from average atmospheric pressure at sea level? Repeat the calculation for a Lear jet with mass 3300 kg and wing area 21.5 m2. Comment on the implications for the assumption that air behaves as an incompressible fluid in these situations.
