An oblique shock wave with a wave angle \(\beta\) is generated from a wedge angle of \(\theta\).What is the ratio of the Mach number downstream of the shock to its normal component?
Consider an airplane in an accelerated climb. At a given instant in this climb, the specific excess power is 120 ft/s
Consider an airplane flying at 620 mi/h at 35,000 ft. Calculate its energy height.
For a turbojet-powered airplane with the altitude variation of thrust given by Eq. (3.19), show that as the altitude increases, the maximum velocity decreases.
The BD-5J is equipped with plain flaps. The airfoil section at the wing root is an NACA 64-212, and interestingly enough, it has a thicker section at the tip, an NACA 64-218.
For the BD-5J, calculate (a) The maximum value of CL/CD (b) The maximum value of CL^(1/ 2) /CD
An airfoil generates a lift of 80 N when operating in a free stream flow of 60 m/s. If the ambient pressure and temperature are 100 kPa and 290 K respectively ( specific gas constant is 287 J/kg-K), find the circulation on the airfoil.
