Exercises: Flight Dynamics-I Prof. E.G. Tulapurkara Chapter-5

This document contains exercises related to flight dynamics from chapter 5 of a textbook. It includes questions about calculating maximum and minimum speeds for airplanes given parameters like weight, wing area, drag coefficients. It also contains questions about stall speeds at different altitudes and thrust required for level flight near stall conditions. Thrust equations are derived for an airplane with a parabolic drag polar in terms of minimum drag speed and minimum thrust required.

Chapter 5 Exercises
5.1 Obtain the maximum speed and minimum speed in steady level flight at sea level for the following airplane: W = 36,000 N; S = 26.0 m2; CD = 0.032 + 0.043CL2 BHP = 503 kW; Propeller efficiency = 82%; CLmax = 1.5

[Answers: Vmax = 324.6 kmph; Vmin = 139.8 kmph]

5.2 A jet engined airplane has a weight of 64,000 N and wing area of 20 m . If the engine output at 5 km altitude be 8000 N, calculate the maximum and minimum speeds in level flight. Given that CDO = 0.017, A = 6.5, e = 0.80, CLmax = 1.4. [Answers: Vmax = 877 kmph,Vmin = 283.6 kmph] 5.3 An airplane stalls at M=0.2 at sea level. What will be the Mach number and equivalent airspeed when it stalls at 5 km altitude? Compare the thrust required to maintain level flight near stall at the two altitudes. Assume the weight of the airplane to be same at the two altitudes. [Answers: M = 0.274, Ve = 68.06 m/s, (Tr)s.l = (Tr)5 km as CL is same] 5.4 (a) Show that the thrust required in steady level flight at a speed V for an airplane with parabolic drag polar is given by:

Tr = D = AW (

V 2 AW ) + Vmd (V / Vmd )2
1/2

where, Vmd = speed for minimum drag, W = weight of airplane and A = (CD0 K) . (b) Also show that if V = m Vmd , then the thrust required (Tr) in terms of the minimum thrust required (Trmin) is given by :
Tr 1 = m2 +m-2 Trmin 2
