The drag equation for the Gofaster 172 is: D = 0.0003v2A. D is drag in pounds; v is airspeed in feet/second; and A is aircraft frontal area in square feet. At maximum airspeed, D = 140 lbs. How much does max airspeed INCREASE if the fuselage is narrowed such that frontal area A is reduced from 16 ft2 to 14 ft2? Give the answer in ft/sec AND mph. drag is 140 lbs. at maximum airspeed, regardless of frontal area. the question is: what is the INCREASE in max airspeed, not what is the max airspeed.
If a missile takes off vertically from sea level and leavesthe atmosphere, it has zero drag when it starts and zerodrag when it finishes. It follows that the drag must be amaximum somewhere in between. To simplify the analysis,assume a constant drag coefficient, CD, and constant verticalacceleration, a.
