Chapter 8, Problem 8.90P
NASA is developing a swing-wing airplane called the Bird of Prey [37]. As shown in Fig. P8.90, the wings pivot like a pocketknife blade: forward (a), straight (b), or backward (c). Discuss a possible advantage for each of these wing positions. If you can’t think of one, read the article [37] and report to the class.

Suppose you are designing the propeller of a radio-controlled model airplane. The overall diameter of the propeller is 34.0 cm, and the hub assembly diameter is 5.5 cm. The propeller rotates at 1700 rpm, and the airfoil chosen for the propeller cross section achieves its maximum efficiency at an angle of attack of 14°. When the airplane flies at 30 mi/h (13.4 m/s), calculate the blade pitch angle from the root to the tip of the blade such that ? = 14° everywhere along the propeller blade.

- Long flights at midlatitudes in the Northern Hemisphere encounter the jet stream, an eastward airflow that can affect a plane's speed relative to Earth's surface. If a pilot maintains a certain speed relative to the air (the plane's airspeed), the speed relative to the surface (the plane's ground speed) is more when the flight is in the direction of the jet stream and less when the flight is opposite the jet stream. Suppose a round-trip flight is scheduled between two cities separated by 3200 km, with the outgoing flight in the direction of the jet stream and the return flight opposite it.
