The Cessna Cardinal, a single-engine light airplane, has a wing with an area of 16.2 m2 and an aspect ratio of 7.31. Assume that the span efficiency factor is 0.62.
Investigate the principles of aerodynamics in mechanical engineering, covering topics such as fluid flow around objects, lift and drag forces, and boundary layer phenomena.
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.
