- In order to shorten the distance required for landing, a jet airplane is equipped with movable vanes that partially reverse the direction of the air discharged by each of its engines. Each engine scoops in the air at a rate of 120 kg/s and discharges it with a velocity of 600 m/s relative to the engine. At an instant when the speed of the airplane is 270 km/h, determine the reverse thrust provided by each of the engines.arrow_forwardThe missile weighs 47000 lb. The constant thrust provided by the turbojet engine isT = 18000 lb. Additional thrust is provided by two rocket boosters B. The propellant ineach booster is burned at a constant rate of 175 lb/s, with a relative exhaust velocity of 2000f t/s. If the mass of the propellant lost by the turbojet engine can be neglected, determinethe velocity of the missile after the 6 s burn time of the boosters. The initial velocity ofthe missile is 150 mi/h.
