    The document contains 10 self-test questions about fixed wing aircraft and basic calculus concepts. It asks the test taker to calculate values like the drag on an aircraft given its specifications, the induced drag on an aircraft at different dynamic pressures, and the minimum drag and corresponding dynamic pressure for an aircraft. It provides the specifications of one aircraft across multiple questions to help understand how to plot the total drag versus dynamic pressure curve.

    Fixed wing aircraft (aeroplanes) and basic calculus

    Put your answers below


    1) If D = 0.6 v2 + 0.2/v2,
    then at what value of v does D=2.5,
    for values of v that occur above the minimum point?

    2) If D = 0.6 v2 + 282000/ v2,


    then at what value of v does D=850,
    for values of v that occur above the minimum point?

    3) An aeroplane is flying at a dynamic pressure of 400 Pa and it


    has a wing area of 10 m2, a zero lift drag coefficient N
    of 0.022. What is its zero-lift drag (N)?

    4) An aeroplane has a wing area of 10 m2 and a span of 10m, CL =


    What would be its ideal induced drag (N), if it has a weight N A=
    of 3000N and it is flying at a dynamic pressure of 400 Pa?

    5) An aeroplane has a zero-lift drag coefficient of 0.03, a wing area


    of 20 m2, a span of 14 m, an induced drag factor of k=1.2, K1 = m2
    and a weight of W=6000N.
    If the aeroplane's drag polar is written as D=K1q + K2W/q, where K2 = N/m2
    q is the dynamic pressure, then what are the values of K1 and K2?

    6) At what value of q does the aeroplane specified in question 5


    have its lowest (minimum) drag ? N/m2

    7) What is the minimum drag of the aircraft specified in question 5?


    in kN? kN

    8) If the maximum thrust of the aircraft in question 5 is 1000N, then what


    is the the maximum value of q that the aircraft can fly in kN/m2? kN/m2

    9) If the maximum lift coefficient of the aircraft is 1.2


    then what is the minimum value of q that the aircraft kN/m2
    specified in question 5 can fly in kN/m2?

    10) What is the drag of the aircraft specified in question 5 at this


    maximum lift coefficient condition in kN? kN

    To understand this exercise try plotting the total drag of the aircraft specified in question 5 verses dynamic pressure (D vs
