An aircraft is flying at an altitude of 2 km at 200 m/s. The fuselage has a cylindrical shape with an average diameter of 4 m and a length of 32 m. What is the total drag over the fuselage (total of form and skin friction drag)? Ignore the nose cone and tail slope. Assume a flat plate drag coefficient of 1.1 and transitional Reynolds number is 5.5E+5.

Note: Don't copy from other websites solution, those are wrong solutions. The trailer travels at U = 39 mi/h. The air is still and has a temperature of 60°F. Assume the surfaces are smooth and flat Consider both laminar and turbulent boundary layers. (Figure 1) Part A :Determine the drag acting on each side of the trailer truck.
1. A sign is exposed to a 15 mph wind on a standard day. You may neglect the "legs" of the sign in all cases. Estimate the drag on the sign if (a) the sign is aligned lengthwise to the wind. (b) the sign is crosswise to the wind (wind perpendicular to the face of the sign). 3 m wind (part a) Tempe ASU Next Exit wind (part b) 1m 1m Configuration for part a. Configuration for part b. 1. (c) the sign is rotated by 90 degrees (so that it is 3 m high and 1 m wide) and the wind is parallel to the face of the sign. (d) the sign is rotated by 90 degrees (same orientation as in part c) and the sign is crosswise to the wind. 1m wind (part c) Tempe ASU 3 m Next Exit Configuration for part c.
An aeroplane has a rectangular planform wing with a span of 12 m and a chord of 2 m. The aircraft is flying at cruising speed of 62 m/s at an altitude of 3,200 m. Assume that the skin-friction drag on the wing can be approximated by the drag on a flat plate of the same dimensions at 0° incidence. Calculate the skin-friction drag and the maximum boundary layer thickness assuming (i) a completely laminar flow, and (ii) a completely turbulent flow. Assume μ = 1.63.10-5 N s/m², p = 0.89 kg/m³. Then, calculate the skin-friction drag accounting for transition at Recr= 5.105. What would the drag benefit be if transition was delayed to a Reynolds number of 106? What reduction in a propeller engine power would this imply in the cruise condition, assuming a propeller efficiency of 0.88?
A group of researchers from UMP conducted a project collaboration with an aircraft company to develop a small aircraft. The aircraft is designed to carry up to 2800 kg of total mass. The wing area of the aircraft is 30 m2. During takeoff, the lift coefficient of the aircraft is 0.45. Meanwhile during cruising, the drag coefficient of the aircraft is 0.035. i. Analyze the takeoff speed of the aircraft at standard atmospheric conditions ( = 1.225 kg/m3 )
Class Exercise: As shown in the Figure, air deflectors are used to reduce the drag on a truck. A reduction in drag coefficient from 0.78 to 0.58 was achieved when the deflectors are installed. Calculate the power saving by the installation of the deflectors at speed of 100 km/h and the projected area is 8.36 m2. p=1.2kg /m C 0.78 C0.50 24 Chapter 11
- Study how the lift and drag varies with a change in angle of attack for a flat plate, symmetrical airfoil and asymmetrical airfoil when Re is below 50'000 and compare it to higher Re.

3) An advertising sign mounted on the roof of a car is 33 inches tall, 15 inches wide and 54 inches long (airflow direction). The underside of the sign is flush with the top surface of the roof. Take air properties to be: p = 0.075 lbm/ft' and u= 1.22x10 lbm/ft.sec. Used a pressure drag coefficient of 1.2 for the advertisement sign. Calculate the total drag on the sign and the power required to overcome its effect if the car is travelling at a constant speed of a) 12 mph and b) 45 mph. Note: Provide a schematic diagram (sketch) of the problem configuration (if applicable). Every numerical calculation must be preceded by the appropriate equation. Do not forget units & dimensions during your calculations.

A wing of 2 percent camber, 5-in chord, and 30-in span istested at a certain angle of attack in a wind tunnel with sealevelstandard air at 200 ft/s and is found to have lift of 30 lbfand drag of 1.5 lbf. Estimate from wing theory (a) the angle ofattack, (b) the minimum drag of the wing and the angle of attackat which it occurs, and (c) the maximum lift-to-drag ratio.
