Exercise 3: Aircraft Performance
PerformanceGiven Aircraft Conditions:Gross Weight for Cruise = 300,000 lbsWing Area = 3050 ft2Wing Span = 156 ftWing Efficiency = .75CDp= 0.0119Twin turbofan engine AircraftTemp-StandardFigure 2.1 Atmospheric ConditionsFigures 4.3 and 4.5Use the following equation to find Power Required (hp) at FL350 Max Endurance Airspeed:PR = TR V / 325Where, PR = power-required (hp)TR = thrust-required (p)V = true airspeed (KTAS)
