The forces on an aircraft flying at altitude are shown in the picture. An F35 fighter jet has a mass m = 14,000 kg and its engines are capable of a maximum thrust TMAX = 190,000 N. (a) At a cruising speed of 250 m/s the air drag is 40,000 N. What is the maximum forward acceleration that the F35 can achieve? (b) This aircraft’s wings have a total cross-sectional area of 43 m2. What is the pressure difference between the upper and lower side of the wings required for the aircraft to fly at constant altitude? (Hint: the vertical forces must cancel.)
