Estimate the drag force on the fuselage shown below for a cruising speed of 210 m/s at 10,000m. Hint 1: To calculate the drag force split the fuselage into 4 parts: front hemisphere,cylindrical body, vertical stabilizer, back hemisphere. Model the front and back hemispheres as flow over a sphere. For simplicity treat the cylindrical body and vertical stabilizer as flat plates. Hint 2: Use Cd vs Reynolds number graphs for sphere and flat plate. If your Reynolds number is greater/smaller than the Cd vs Reynolds graph range, you can instead use the greatest/smallest number available on the graph.
