Quiz Week 8 questions: 1. For which purposes may a pilot NOT want to fly at CL/CD max? -When a prop aircraft is gliding with engines out over the longest distance possible -When a jet aircraft is flying the longest range possible in cruise * -When a prop aircraft is flying the longest range possible in cruise -When a jet aircraft is flying for as long of time as possible in cruise 2. For which purposes may a pilot NOT want to fly at CL 3/2 /CD max? -When a prop aircraft is flying at the minimum power required -When a jet aircraft is descending with engines out at the slowest rate possible -When a prop aircraft is gliding with engines out over the longest distance possible * -When a prop aircraft is flying for as long of time as possible in cruise
3. A jet aircraft has a thrust specific fuel consumption of 0.6 lbs/lb-hr, an L/D of y, and a starting total weight of z lbs. It loiters in the air for x hrs, burning fuel during this time. While the aircraft was loitering, how much fuel was burned? Give your answer in lbs: E = (1/Ct)*L/D*ln(W0/Wi) x = (1/0.6)*y*ln(z/i) --> solve for i to 4. An aircraft performing a takeoff from a speed of 0 to V2, V2=1.2Vstall, with a weight of w, a surface area of S ft^2, has a ground roll distance of sg ft. If the average acceleration of the aircraft on the runway is 4 ft/s^2, what is the takeoff CLmax? Assume a standard sea level atmosphere. sg = V^2 / 2 a , Vs = V / 1.2 , CLmax = W/ [1/2 *rho*S*Vs^2]
Example: if S = 1000 ft^2 sg = 6300 ft a = 4 ft/s^2 W = 100000 lb Vs = sqrt(2*6300*4) / 1.2 = 187 ft/s CLmax = W/ [1/2 *rho*S*Vs^2] = 100,000 lb / (1/2 * 0.00238 * 1000 ft^2 * (187 ft/s)^2) = 2.4
