A propeller-driven aircraft has an in-flight weight of 4,105 lb (equivalent to a mass of 1,862 kg) and is cruising at a true airspeed of 120 kts. The lift-to-drag ratio of the aircraft is 8.2. If the propeller efficiency, ηp, is 0.8, then how much brake power is required for flight? Work through this problem in both USC and SI units.
Consider a Boeing 747 airliner cruising at a velocity of 550 mi/h at a standard altitude of 38,000 ft, where the freestream pressure and temperature are 432.6 lb/ft2 and 390◦R, respectively. A one-fiftieth scale model of the 747 is tested in a wind tunnel where the temperature is 430◦R. In addition to the information given in above, for this airplane the zero-lift angle of attack is −2◦, the lift slope of the airfoil section is 0.1 per degree, the lift efficiency factor τ = 0.04, and the wing aspect ratio is 7.96. At the cruising condition treated given, calculate the angle of attack of the airplane.
A C-130 pilot desires to fly a low-level navigation mission at 4 n miles/ min (240 kn ground speed).Winds are forecast out of the north (blowing south) at 20 kn, the pressure altitude is 10,000 ft, andthe temperature is 80 °F. What indicated airspeed should the pilot fly on a northbound leg if theposition error is negligible? The answer is q = 136 lb/ft2

The drag characteristics of an aircraft must be determined by a test of a model subjected to a wind tunnel operated at an absolute pressure of 1300 KPa. If the prototype will be used in standard air at 385 km/hr, and the corresponding speed of the model does not differ by more than 20% from the speed of the prototype (so that the compressibility effects are ignored), what range of length scales can be used if the Reynolds number remains similar?

Consider the same Lockheed F-104 supersonic fighter shown, with the same flight conditions of Mach 2 at an altitude of 11 km. For these conditions the wing angle of attack is α = 0.035 rad = 1.98◦. Assume the chord length of the airfoil is 2.2 m, which is approximately the mean chord length for the wing. Also, assume fully turbulent flow over the airfoil.

For a new sailboat, a designer wants to determine the drag force that may be expected at a given speed. To do so, she places a model of the proposed hull in a test channel and uses three cables to keep its bow on the centerline of the channel. Dynamometer readings indicate that for a given speed, the tension is 40 lb in cable AB and 60 lb in cable AE. Determine the drag force exerted on the hull and the tension in cable AC.
