Consider a light, single-engine, propeller-driven, private airplane, approximately modeled after the Cessna T-41A. The characteristics of the airplane are as follows: wingspan = 35.8 ft, wing area = 174 ft2, normal gross weight = 2950 lb, fuel capacity = 65 gal of aviation gasoline, the parasite drag coefficient CD,0 = 0.025, Oswald efficiency factor = 0.8 and propeller efficiency = 0.8. The power plant comprises one-piston engine of 230 hp at sea level. Calculate the maximum velocity of the airplane at sea level. (Round the final answer to one decimal place.)

Consider an airplane patterned after the Beechcraft Bonanza V-tailed, single-engine light private airplane. The characteristics of the airplane are as follows: aspect ratio = 6.2, wing area = 181 ft2, Oswald efficiency factor = 0.91, weight = 3500 lb, and zero-lift drag coefficient = 0.027. The airplane is powered by a single piston engine of 345 hp maximum at sea level. Assume the power of the engine is proportional to free-stream density. The two-blade propeller has an efficiency of 0.83....
