Question

The Antonov An-225 is the heaviest aircraft ever built, with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 metric tonnes. It also has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service.

Sea level standard day (sls) conditions for calculations are 15°C; 101.3kPa

Rotate speed (Vr) at takeoff (sls):

Vr = 154 kts = 1.2×Vmin

(1 kt = 0.514 m/s)

Cruise Engine Thrust :

a) Calculate the lift coefficient for a standard day takeoff

b) Calculate the drag coefficient at cruis

F_cruise = 0.85 F_max

Engine maximum thrust:

Fa_ctual,max = F_sls,max×δ θ½

δ = P_actual/P_ref; and

θ = T_ref/T_actual
