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.

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....
