Only (a) part needs to be solved. 

8.
This question is based around an aircraft with the following characteristics:
CD
0.04 + 0.025 C?
Weight
200 kN
Wing area
75 m2
For this part only, assume the aircraft has a turboprop propulsion
system that has 5 MW of available power at sea level. What is the
(a)
maximum climb rate of the aircraft at sea level and at what climb angle
is this rate of climb achieved?
(b)
The aircraft performs a constant speed, powered descent at an
equivalent air speed of 160 m s-1. The descent angle, the angle the
direction of motion makes with the horizontal, is 12°. How much thrust
is required to maintain constant speed?
(c)
For this part only, assume the aircraft has a turbojet propulsion system
that has 80 kN of thrust available at sea level and thrust available is
proportional to density. The aircraft is required to climb at a constant
angle of 15°. What is the highest altitude that this climb angle can be
achieved?
