(2) QUESTIONS.
1. [12.5 marks] The wing of a light aircraft of 1,440 kg gross weight has the following
characteristics:
-NACA 651-212 a=0.6 airfoil (see page 2 for airfoil data)
-Wing planform area of 18.58 m2
-Wing span of 10.7 m
-Rectangular
-Full-span
wing
The aircraft cruise speed at 3,000 ft altitude (~= 1.76x10-5 kg/m/s) is 200 km/h. The loading on
the wing may be assumed to be elliptic. Determine:
a)
lift coefficient, profile drag coefficient and induced drag coefficients at cruise. [3.5 marks]
b)
c)
the sea-level stall speed with the split flaps deflected to 60 deg. You may assume a
Reynolds number of 6x106 for these conditions. [2 marks]
d)
the induced angle of attack and induced velocity in cruise condition. [2.5 marks]
e)
the effective angle of attack, i.e. the angle between the resultant flow and the zero lift line
of the wing section in cruise conditions. [2.5 marks]

Q.{/\~~~
b)
Estimate the drag polar relation for this aircraft. [1.5 marks]
c)
At what lift coefficient would be the lift-to-drag ratio a maximum? Estimate the
maximum lift-to-drag ratio. [3.5 marks]
d)
At what altitude should the aircraft cruise to minimize fuel consumption? (Hint: consider
that jetliners typically fly in the lower stratosphere) [3.5 marks]
e)
f)
g)
If an engine of this thrust would not be available at the time of design, than which two
major performance parameters would have to be compromised by installing smaller
engines? You may assume that the cruise lift-to-drag ratio is the same as for "optimum
engine" availability. Support analysis with equations. [2 marks]
