Consider an airplane patterned after the Fairchild Republic A-10, a twin-jet attack aircraft. The airplane has the following characteristics: wing area = 47 m², aspect ratio = 6.5, Oswald efficiency factor = 0.87, weight = 103,047 N, and zero-lift drag coefficient = 0.032. The airplane is equipped with two jet engines with 40,298 of static thrust each at sea level. The thrust-specific fuel consumption is 1.0 N of fuel per Newton of thrust per hour. The fuel capacity is 2800 gal, and the maximum gross weight is 136,960 N. Calculate the range and endurance at a standard altitude of 8 km, where ?_? = 0.526 kg/m³.

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....

Condor Airplane Company has built a new model jet aircraft which it intends to sell to high net worth clients. This aircraft required 25,000 hours to complete. Condor believes an incremental unit-time learning model with an 82% learning curve best reflects the company's production efficiency. Condor just received a contract to make fifteen identical aircraft. What will be the expected unit time for the sixteenth aircraft?

A twin-blade aircraft propeller has a mass of 30.0 kg and a radius of 1.50 m. When the aircraft is flying at its top speed of 162 knots the tips of the propeller blades may not move faster than 300 m/s through the air (otherwise they would be travelling supersonically). Determine: 3.1 the maximum safe angular speed of the propeller in rpm; 3.2 the torque the engine must exert on the propeller in order for it to reach this maximum...

A commercial jet aircraft has two engines. Both engines have a reliability of 0.90, in other words the probability that a given engine will not fail is 0.90. Engines are assumed to operate independently from each other. a. Do you think the following two events are mutually exclusive? Event 1: Engine 1 will not fail Event 2: Engine 2 will not fail A) Yes, since they are independent B) No C) There is not enough information to determine if they...

3. A jet aircraft has a drag polar CD = CD,0 + CL 2 /(?e?) = 0.02 + 0.04 CL 2 and wing area 500 m2 . Its initial weight is 3,000,000 N, which includes the fuel weight 1,000,000 N. The thrust specific fuel consumption is 0.9 (N of fuel) / (N of thrust ·hour). Find the maximum endurance of this aircraft.

has asked Jordon and Taylor to consider making Extra Attack Brownies and Nutty Attack Brownies, in addition to Chocolate Attack Brownies. The selling price to Yumminess would be $12 and $14.50 per tin, respectively, compared to the original $10 for Chocolate Attack Brownies. In addition to the current fixed common cost of $79,000, you have figured the additional costs to manufacture each new recipe. For 50,000 tins of Extra Attack Brownies, additional variable costs would be $75,000. For 20,000 tins...

1) In the airport there are 10 airplanes waiting to board. If each airplane has the same seat distribution, 20 first class, 40 business class and 140 economy class and they are boarding randomly: what is the probability that the first passenger boarding in 4 of the 10 airplanes is from the economy class. What is the mean of this distribution? 2) Using the following data determine the median, mode and 47% percentile. 6, 22, 14, 12, 13, 14, 16,...
