Exercises: Flight Dynamics-I Prof. E.G. Tulapurkara Chapter-6

This document contains an aerospace engineering chapter with exercises on flight dynamics. It includes: 1) An exercise calculating the rate of climb of an airplane with additional thrust from a rocket motor. 2) An exercise finding the minimum rate of sink, minimum glide angle and speeds for a glider. 3) An exercise deriving an equation for the speed ratio corresponding to maximum rate of climb for a subsonic jet, and providing a table of results.

Chapter 6 Exercises
6.1 An airplane powered by a turbojet engine weighs 180,000 N, has a wing area of 50 m2 and the drag polar is CD = 0.016 + 0.048CL2. At sea level a rate of climb of 1200 m/min is obtained at a speed of 150 m/s. Calculate the rate of climb at the same speed when a rocket motor giving an additional thrust of 10,000 N is fitted to the airplane. (Answer: 1702 m /min.) 6.2 A glider having a wing loading of 185 N / m2 has the following drag polar.

Obtain the minimum rate of sink, minimum angle of glide and corresponding speeds at sea level. (Hint: Obtain CD / CL and CD / CL
3/2

from the given data, plot them, obtain

(CD / CL) min , (CD / CL3/2)min and proceed.) (Answers: (R/S)min = 0.647 m/s, min = 2.13o, V(R/S)min = 54.2 kmph, Vmin= 71.35 kmph) 6.3 Consider a subsonic jet airplane. Assume that (a) thrust available (Ta) is roughly constant, (b) L W in climb or the drag in climb (D) is roughly equal to the drag in level flight and (c) the drag polar assumptions and from
D = A W(

is parabolic. With these

show that (V / Vmd) for (R/C)max i.e. (V / Vmd)(R/C)max is given by: V Vmd (R/C)max Ta T ( a )2 +12A 2 W = W 6A

Further taking CDO = 0.016 and K = 0.05625 or A = 0.03 obtain the following table. Ta / W V Vmd (R/C)max 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.06

Note that, as the altitude increases, Ta / W decreases and as a consequence V V tends to 1. At absolute ceiling = 1 but Vmd (R/C)max Vmd (R/C)max (R/C)max is zero !.
