Sheet #8

This document provides characteristics for two aircraft, a single-engine propeller-driven airplane (CP-1) and a twin-engine turbojet airplane (CJ-1), and lists 14 problems to solve regarding thrust, power, velocity, rate of climb, glide angle, ceilings, range, and endurance for the two aircraft. The problems include calculating and plotting thrust-required curves, power-required curves, rate of climb curves, and solving for maximum/minimum velocities, maximum climb rates, minimum glide angles, equilibrium velocities, ceilings, times to climb, and maximum ranges/endurances. The document is from Cairo University's aeronautics department for an introduction to aeronautics

First Year Introduction to Aeronautics [AER 101B] Sheet (8) 2012-2013

I- Consider a light, single engine, propeller-driven, private airplane (designated as CP-1) having the following characteristics: Gross weight (takeoff weight) 13122 N Wing area 16 m2 Wing span 11 m Fuel weight 1631 N Power plant: one piston engine of 230 hp at sea level Specific fuel consumption 2 N/(hp.h) Parasite drag Coefficient (CDo) 0.025 Oswald efficiency factor (e) 0.8 Propeller efficiency 0.8 Maximum lift coefficient (flaps up) 1.4 II- Consider a turbojet-powered executive aircraft (designated as CJ-1) having the following characteristics: Gross weight (takeoff weight) 88137 N Wing area 30 m2 Wing span 16 m Fuel weight 28072 N Power plant: two turbojet engines of 16235 N thrust each at sea level Specific fuel consumption 2.7 N of fuel /(N Thrust.h) Parasite drag Coefficient (CDo) 0.02 Oswald efficiency factor (e) 0.81 Maximum lift coefficient (flaps up) 1.4

For both CP-1 and CJ-1 aircrafts, solve the following problems: 1. Calculate and plot the thrust-required curves at sea level for both CP-1 & CJ-1 2. Calculate the maximum velocity of the CJ-1 at sea level. 3. Calculate and plot the power-required curves for: a) The CP-1 at sea level, and b) The CJ-1 at an altitude of 6700 m. 4. Calculate the maximum velocity for: a) The CP-1 at sea-level, and b) The CJ-1 at 6700 m c) Compare the maximum velocities of CJ-1 at sea level (from problem 2) and at 6700 m. 5. Calculate the minimum velocity for CP-1 and CJ-1 at sea level 6. Calculate & plot the rate of climb versus velocity at sea level for: a) The CP-1 and b) The CJ-1. 7. Calculate the maximum rate of climb at sea level for: a) The CP-1 and b) The CJ-1. 8. Calculate the maximum angle of climb at sea-level for the CJ-1. 9. Calculate the minimum glide angle and the maximum range measured along the ground in a power-off glide that starts at an altitude of 3000 m a) The Cp-1 and b) The CJ-1 10. For the CP-1, calculate the equilibrium velocities at altitudes of 3000 m and 600 m, each corresponding to the minimum glide angle. 11. Calculate the absolute and service ceilings for the CJ-1. 12. Calculate the minimum time for CJ-1 to climb from sea-level to the altitude of 6000 m. 13. Estimate the maximum range and maximum endurance for the CP-1. 14. Estimate the maximum range and endurance for the CJ-1 at the cruising altitude of 6000 m.
