UNIT-II
For unit-II may three types of questions will ask in your university exams.
TYPE-I
1.Derive the two equations given below and represent it graphically
2. An airplane is flying straight and level at a speed V which is ‘n’ timer the minimum power speed Vmp. Show that
3. For an aircraft in straight and level flight at a speed of ‘M’ derive the minimum drag speed. Show that
where D is drag of the aircraft.
4. An aircraft weighing 25 kN has a wing area of 80 m^2 and its drag coefficient is
