Delta Wing Aircraft Specifications
(do the necessary assumptions if needed)
Wing Area: 585 m2
Wing Span: 32 m
Taper ratio: 0.019
Leading Edge Sweep angle: 65.57°
Wing loading: 4070 N/m2
Cruise Mach Number: 3
Cruise altitude: 22.5 km
(L/D) cruise = (L/D) max = 9
Calculate the cruising angle of attack?
Write down the cruising drag polar equation?
Using the drag polar found in (b), calculate (CL1/2/CD) max and corresponding Mach number maximizing (CL1/2/CD).
