The takeoff equation seen in an earlier chapter is somewhat complex because takeoff ground distances depend on many things, from drag coefficients to ground friction. 11.23 If an aircraft traveling down a runway has a tire pressure of 200 psi and no other information is available, the approximate speed to which total dynamic hydroplaning may occur is __________. One finds the desired takeoff distance in feet on the vertical axis and projects over to the plot for the type of aircraft desired, then drops a vertical line to the TOP axis to find a value for that term. If the engine is capable of producing more power than the power required, that excess power can be used to make the plane accelerate to a faster speed (increasing kinetic energy) or to climb to a higher altitude (increasing potential energy), or to give some combination of both. 12.22 According to the textbook, one study showed that 0.1 in. 13.5 (Reference Figure 5.4) What speed is indicated at point C? Finding this value of drag would set the thrust we need for cruise. These two ratios are both very reflective of the design philosophy and objectives of any particular airplane. In cruise where lift = weight and thrust = drag, T/W = 1 / [L/D], meaning that the high value of L/D that is needed for a large range goes hand in hand with a low thrust-to-weight ratio. a. In fact, the equations used to find the maximum range for either a jet or a prop aircraft assume flight at very low speeds, speeds that one would never really use in cruise unless desperate to extend range in some emergency situation. 3.2 The main variable(s) in the geometry of an airfoil are: 3.3 The angle between the relative wind and the chord line of an airfoil is the, 3.4 For a symmetrical airfoil, at 0o AOA, air passing over the wing results in, An equal increase in velocity over the top and bottom of the wing. 3.7 The Center of Pressure __________ move with a change in AOA for a symmetrical airfoil, while it ____________ move with a change in AOA for a cambered airfoil. 4.19 Assume an aircraft with the CL-AOA curve of Fig. 7.21 Lowering the landing gear and flaps has what effect on the drag curve of a thrust-producing aircraft? Any combination of W/S and T/W within that space will meet our design goals. V e = 2 W S L S C L = 794.1 f p s. The angle of climb for maximum rate of climb (not maximum angle of climb) can then be found as follows: sin = T D W = T W C D / C L = 0.429 0.013 + 0.157 (0.088) 2 0.088 = 0.267. = 15.51 6.17 Maximum endurance will permit your aircraft to obtain the best distance for the fuel consumed. When plotting the cruise curve in a constraint analysis plot it should be assumed that the aircraft is cruising at a desired normal cruise speed, which will be neither the top speed at that altitude nor the speed for maximum range. 1.17 An airplane weighs 8,000 lbs and is flying at 6,000 ft altitude and an airspeed of 200 fps. TSL / WTO = [(Walt/WTO) / (Talt/TSL)] {[q/(Walt/WSL)](CD0)/(WTO/S). 13.14 (Reference Figure 14.10) What airspeed must an aircraft maintain at 50 degrees of bank to achieve 10,000 feet radius of turn? Therefore both approaches must have the same solution: when the ratio of vertical speed to airspeed is maximized, then the ratio of vertical speed to horizontal speed is also maximized. 3.23 The following are all examples of primary flight controls except _____________. The ones that spring to mind are A/C weight, temperature, and density altitude. Note also that the data point you use for your trig calculation of climb angle can come from anywhere along the straight line you've drawn from the origin of the graph. If we were to look at the relationships we found for any of these we could see how we might design an airplane to best accomplish the task at hand. Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach, AIAA, Washington, DC. Note that just as the drag equation is a function of both V and 1/V, this is a function of both W/S and 1/(W/S). The question is; is there some way to analyze all of these at the same time and come to a decision about optimum or reasonable compromise values of weight, wing area, and engine thrust without having to go through iteration after iteration? Stall Cutoff for cap W over cap S values. CC BY 4.0. Both approaches are minimizing the same angle on the right triangle comprised of the vertical speed, horizontal speed, and airspeed vectors. The value of T/W will depend on the desired flight speed, the wing area, and the efficiency (L/D) of the wing. 6.14 The minimum fuel flow for a jet aircraft occurs at the minimum thrust required, otherwise known as ______________. Power required is drag multiplied by TAS. In this final plot the space above the climb and takeoff curves and to the left of the landing line is our acceptable design space. Still looking for something? It weighs 2,605 lbs and has a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 3,650 lbs. As fuel is burned the pilot must. This is because, The increase is mostly due to parasite Pr, 9.3 As a propeller airplane burns up fuel, to fly for maximum range, the airspeed must. Hence, what we have done through the specific excess power relationship is nothing but a different way to get a familiar result. See Page 1. How does a fixed-pitch propeller changes the blade's angle of attack? However, these may not represent the best combination of these parameters if another of our goals is to achieve a certain climb rate. We could get a different curve for different cruise speeds and altitudes but at any given combination of these this will tell us all the combinations of thrust-to-weight values and wing loadings that will allow straight and level flight at that altitude and speed. 10.1 Regarding takeoff performance, an increase in the aircraft weight will result in, 10.2 Takeoff thrust is primarily influenced by what factor(s), 10.3 An increase in density altitude has what effect on takeoff performance. 1.8 An aircraft is traveling west at an airspeed of 120 knots and is experiencing a crosswind of 20 knots from the north (90). Rate of climb Available from https://archive.org/details/9.4_20210805. The only problem is that we would find that their relationships in cruise arent necessarily the same as they are in takeoff and landing. Adapted from James F. Marchman (2004). 12.13 The primary way to tell if you are in a spin and not a spiral is, 12.14 An airplane in flight encounters wing icing. These are then plotted to find optimum values of wing loading and thrust-to-weight ratio. This is not a condition which we have studied earlier but we can get some idea of where this occurs by looking at the plot of drag versus velocity for an aircraft. 13.18 During a turn in an aircraft, the vertical component of lift is also known as______________. 37 0 obj As one of my students once put it, the thrust-to-weight ratio (T/W) is a measure of how much of a rocket your plane is. Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience. 5.6 Which of the following is a type of parasite drag? In an earlier chapter on climb and glide we looked at something called specific excess power and defined it as: Ps = [Pavail Preq] / W = [(T D)V] / W. We may, hopefully, remember using this relationship to find the rate of climb but we may not recall that it was only the correct rate of climb in a special case, where speed (V) was constant; i.e., the static rate of climb: If we go back to that earlier chapter we will find that in a more general relationship we had: Ps = [Pavail Preq] / W = [(T D)V] / W = [dh/dt] + (V/g)(dV/dt). Since your graph already shows the origin (0,0), you are almost done already! + (kn2/q)(WTO/S)(Walt/WTO) + (1/V)dh/dt + (1/g)dV/dt} . What is the stall speed? stream T/W = (qCD0)/(W/S) + (kn2/q)(W/S) + (1/V)dh/dt + (1/g)dV/dt. The maximum angle of climb occurs where there is the greatest difference between the thrust available and the thrust required. However Vy is actually only a speed, not a climb rate, and will correspond to slightly different rates of climb depending on a few factors. In a propeller driven aircraft, L/D max is often associated with V Y - best rate of climb speed. Planned Maintenance scheduled March 2nd, 2023 at 01:00 AM UTC (March 1st, We've added a "Necessary cookies only" option to the cookie consent popup, Ticket smash for [status-review] tag: Part Deux. 13.20 An aircraft in a level, coordinated turn with a bank angle of 60 is maintaining _____ G's. Finally, we would need to look at the takeoff and landing relationships and at our target values for ground run or for the total takeoff or landing distance. 1.22 Newton's Third Law of Motion states that: For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. The climb angle will be the arcsine of (vertical speed / airspeed). The type of aircraft, airspeed, or other factors have no influence on the load factor. 2.6 The corrections that must be made to indicated airspeed (IAS) to obtain calibrated airspeed (CAS) are: 2.7 The correction from equivalent airspeed (EAS) to true airspeed (TAS) is dependent on: 2.8 An airplane is operating from an airfield that has a barometric pressure of 28.86 in. Acknowledgment: Thanks to Dustin Grissom for reviewing the above and developing examples to go with it. If, for example, we want to look at conditions for straight and level flight we can simplify the equation knowing that: Straight and level flight: n = 1, dh/dt = 0, dV/dt = 0, giving: So for a given estimate of our designs profile drag coefficient, aspect ratio, and Oswald efficiency factor [ k = 1/(ARe)] we can plot T/W versus W/S for any selected altitude (density) and cruise speed. It tells us that to make the airplane do what we want it to do we are restricted to certain combinations of T/W and W/S. 2.24 Calculate the density altitude for an aircraft at an airport with a pressure altitude of 5,000 feet when the current temperature is 13 degrees C. 2.25 Using Table 2.1, calculate the dynamic pressure, q, at 8,000 feet density altitude and 250 knots TAS. Often a set of design objectives will include a minimum turn radius or minimum turn rate. To answer this, plot range versus aspect ratio using e.= 0.8 and varying AR from 4 through 10, and plot range versus e for an aspect ratio of 7.366 with e varying from 0.6 through 1.0.

Once the value of TOP has been found the relationship above is plotted to give a straight line from the origin of the constraint analysis graph. False Propeller aircraft are more efficient than jet aircraft because: They process more air and don't accelerate it as much Turboprop aircraft are classified as power producers because: Both A and C: Copyright 2023 CFI Notebook, All rights reserved. 7.22 The value of (L/D)max changes when the gear and flaps are lowered. Inverse Relationship between Thrust to Weight Ratio and Weight to Surface Area Ratio. CC BY 4.0. 2.13 Using Table 2.1 and the appropriate equation, calculate the dynamic pressure, q, at 7,000 ft density altitude and 140 knots TAS. If we assume a coordinated turn we find that once again the last two terms in the constraint analysis relationship go to zero since a coordinated turn is made at constant altitude and airspeed. 6.22 Vx is also known as _____________________. 11.16 ____________ is caused by the buildup of the hydrodynamic pressure at the tire-pavement contact area. 6.21 The lowest values of ct occur between 95 and 100% rpm. 9.9 For a power-producing aircraft, an increase in weight results in a decrease of Vmax. This addition to the plot tells us the obvious in a way. Note that the line from the origin will have the steepest slope when it is tangent to the curve on the graph. % To obtain best range the pilot now must, 8.2 Maximum rate of climb for a propeller airplane occurs at, 8.3 The turboprop aircraft has its lowest specific fuel consumption at about 25,000 feet altitude because, This is a compromise between (a) and (b) above, 8.4 The lowest point on the Pr curve is (L/D)max. 5.3 An aircraft will enter ground effect at approximately what altitude? Arc Sine ratio of Vv/Airspeed = climb angle T/W = (qCD0)/(W/S) + (kn2/q)(W/S) + (1/V)dh/dt + (1/g)dV/dt . That portion of total drag associated with the production of lift. 6.12 The equation T= Q(V2- V1) indicates the thrust output of an engine can be increased by either increasing the mass airflow or ________________? Typically it takes a form such as that shown in Figure 13.7.The shortest time-to-climb occurs at the flight velocity where is a maximum. Wing loading for sailplanes is usually in the range of 5-8 pounds per square foot, around 17 lb/ft2 for general aviation planes, and over 100 lb/ft2 for fighters. Spreadsheets are indeed are helpful here, and may be programmed as follows: Same units of Velocity for climb and airspeed. 9.12 Which altitude is most efficient for a turboprop aircraft? (meters/second), Conversion of airspeed to horizontal velocity: Hg and a runway temperature of 20C. 13.23 High bank angles and slower airspeeds produce ________ turn radii. Best angle of climb (BAOC) airspeed for an airplane is the speed at which the maximum excess thrust is available. A tailwind is encountered. Since you've already shown us a perfectly good graph of vertical speed versus airspeed, you might as well use it via the method described here. 3.20 The component of the aerodynamic force that is perpendicular to the relative wind is ________________. In other words, only when velocity (V) is constant is this relationship strictly equal to the rate of climb. 8.6 Propeller aircraft are more efficient than jet aircraft because, They process more air and don't accelerate it as much, 8.7 Turboprop aircraft are classified as power producers because. It does this by looking at two important ratios, the thrust-to-weight ratio (T/W), the wing loading or ratio of weight-to-planform area (W/S). 4.20 An increase in CL(max)and a decrease in stall AOA will be noted when ___________. Calculate (or find in Table 2.1) the approximate Density Altitude. Maximum rate of climb for a propeller airplane occurs: at (PA-PR)MAX The lowest point on the PR curve is (L/D)MAX False Propeller aircraft are more efficient than jet aircraft because they process more air and don't accelerate it as much Turboprop aircraft are classified as power producers because: pressure altitude / nonstandard temperature conditions. The other parameter, W/S, or wing loading, is also generally low for sailplanes and high for fighters. To see if we can climb at the desired rate over a reasonable range of altitudes we would need to look at the climb relationship: This would give us another value of thrust needed to reach the target rate of climb for a given weight and, since the equation contains power required, which is drag times speed, the wing area would also be a factor. Find the distance in nautical miles that it has flown through the air. So no re-plotting is needed, just get out your ruler and start drawing. Fortunately, the answer is yes. 5. max thickness. How does wind affect the airspeed that I should fly for maximum range in an airplane? The question with the design of an airplane as with a car or a tire, is how do we arrive at the best compromise that will result in a good all around design while still being better than average in one or two desired areas? Figure 9.7: Kindred Grey (2021). 1.9 An aircraft is traveling west at an airspeed of 120 knots and is experiencing a crosswind of 20 knots from the north (90). On the other hand, the climb curve should be plotted for optimum conditions; i.e., maximum rate of climb (minimum power required conditions for a prop aircraft) since that is the design target in climb. The more efficient a plane is in things like cruise the lower its value of T/W. *de`b h74W.|RZOeIH/Zp %''S^zk4SZ"@uY]2s?Dd8o"gVh|_Lbz!]HR [f&:nIG}#Zg#x>IjL:]PR`cQ%$(|V17?/M/r!1& z7wM#-Lw]Ita8U J%5manh&+=RRi1%'Z$w _Lt)m#3g

How can I find the maximum climb angle of a propeller driven aircraft from a graph of vertical velocity against airspeed? 8.24 Though a turboprop produces power and thrust, the amount of thrust produced directly by the engine is only about what percentage of the total? 8.25 When leveling off at cruise altitude after a climb in an aircraft with a fixed-pitch propeller, as the forward speed of the aircraft increases the blade angle of attack __________. 10.17 Which of the following is the speed at which an aircraft must be accelerated at or before reaching 35 ft at the end of the runway? Plotting it as Peter Kampf did yields the airspeed of maximum climb angle. 2245 Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance (Marchman), { "00:_Front_Matter" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "01:_Introduction_to_Aerodynamics" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "02:_Propulsion" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "03:_Additional_Aerodynamics_Tools" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "04:_Performance_in_Straight_and_Level_Flight" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "05:_Altitude_Change-_Climb_and_Guide" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "06:_Range_and_Endurance" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "07:_Accelerated_Performance-_Takeoff_and_Landing" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "08:_Accelerated_Performance-_Turns" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "09:_The_Role_of_Performance_in_Aircraft_Design-_Constraint_Analysis" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "10:_Appendix_-_Airfoil_Data" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "zz:_Back_Matter" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, { "Aerodynamics_and_Aircraft_Performance_(Marchman)" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()", "Fundamentals_of_Aerospace_Engineering_(Arnedo)" : "property get [Map MindTouch.Deki.Logic.ExtensionProcessorQueryProvider+<>c__DisplayClass228_0.b__1]()" }, 9: The Role of Performance in Aircraft Design - Constraint Analysis, [ "article:topic-guide", "license:ccby", "showtoc:no", "program:virginiatech", "licenseversion:40", "authorname:jfmarchman", "source@https://pressbooks.lib.vt.edu/aerodynamics" ], https://eng.libretexts.org/@app/auth/3/login?returnto=https%3A%2F%2Feng.libretexts.org%2FBookshelves%2FAerospace_Engineering%2FAerodynamics_and_Aircraft_Performance_(Marchman)%2F09%253A_The_Role_of_Performance_in_Aircraft_Design-_Constraint_Analysis, \( \newcommand{\vecs}[1]{\overset { \scriptstyle \rightharpoonup} {\mathbf{#1}}}\) \( \newcommand{\vecd}[1]{\overset{-\!-\!\rightharpoonup}{\vphantom{a}\smash{#1}}} \)\(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \(\newcommand{\id}{\mathrm{id}}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\) \( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\range}{\mathrm{range}\,}\) \( \newcommand{\RealPart}{\mathrm{Re}}\) \( \newcommand{\ImaginaryPart}{\mathrm{Im}}\) \( \newcommand{\Argument}{\mathrm{Arg}}\) \( \newcommand{\norm}[1]{\| #1 \|}\) \( \newcommand{\inner}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}\) \( \newcommand{\Span}{\mathrm{span}}\)\(\newcommand{\AA}{\unicode[.8,0]{x212B}}\), Virginia Tech Libraries' Open Education Initiative, Chapter 9. 9.7 For Jet and Propeller aircraft, the two things shared at L/Dmax are the Maximum Engine-out Glide speed and Maximum range. It can be noted that in the A and B terms respectively we have the thrust-to-weight ratio and the inverse of the wing loading (W/S); hence, for a given set of takeoff parameters and a desired ground run distance (STO) a plot can be made of T/W versus W/S. How is maximum rate of climb defined in aircraft specifications? Accessibility StatementFor more information contact us atinfo@libretexts.orgor check out our status page at https://status.libretexts.org. What is the typical climb angle (versus the ground) of a single engine piston plane? Calculate (or find in Table 2.1) the Pressure Ratio: 2.9 An airplane is operating from an airfield that has a barometric pressure of 28.86 in. Continue searching. We would also need to look at these requirements and our design objectives. It allows the aircraft to reach takeoff velocity at a lower groundspeed than for a no-wind condition. Propeller aircraft are more efficient than jet aircraft because: They process more air and don't accelerate it as much. If, for example, we went all out to create a plane that could takeoff in a very short distance and then look at its performance in straight and level cruise we would probably find that it isnt very good. 1.19 An aircraft weighs 12,000 lbs. 6.13 There are two basic types of climbs when considering the performance of jet aircraft, delayed climb and _____________. And both approaches are maximizing the same angle on the right triangle comprised of the vertical speed, horizontal speed, and airspeed vectors. In the equation above we have a very general performance equation that can deal with changes in both speed and altitude and we find that these changes are functions of the thrust-to-weight ratio, T/W, and the wing loading W/S. Turboprop aircraft are classified as power producers because: Helicopters have another power requirement over fixed wing propeller airplanes. Is a condition where the tire is lifted completely above the surface of the runway, Can occur at slower speeds and rather than the water lifting the tire from the pavement, the tire slips on a thin film, 11.7 If a pilot experiences an engine failure and attempts to "stretch the glide" (i.e., increases the angle of attack) the result will be, A decrease in horizontal distance traveled, 11.8 Airline aircraft primarily use _________ to slow the aircraft after landing. We would then have to decide which of these three requirements was most important and which was least important and then start varying design parameters in an iterative manner until we got all three objectives to result in the same weight, wing area, and engine thrust. 6.25 Endurance is _____________ fuel flow. For example you can choose a point where the straight line crosses one of the airspeed or vertical speed indices, or where it crosses an intersection of both airspeed and vertical speed indices. It should be noted that in plotting curves for cruise and climb a flight speed must be selected for each. 11.18 Which factor affects the calculation of landing performance for a typical aircraft? Find the kinetic energy. 1.15 An airplane is climbing at a constant airspeed in no-wind conditions. This can be done fairly easily by going back to the constraint analysis equations and substituting P/V everywhere that a thrust term appears. I frequently, but not always, have a severe imbalance between the two engines. 8.11 A propeller which has only one pitch setting is known as: 8.12 A propeller where the pilot can adjust the pitch setting in the air. We cant fly straight and level at speeds below the stall speed or above the maximum speed where the drag equals the maximum thrust from the engine. The method normally used is called constraint analysis. 7.12 (Reference Figure 7.2) Using Figure 7.2, find the velocity for best range for the airplane at 8,000 lbs. Which of the type of burst below is the most dangerous? 7.19 Increasing the weight of a thrust-producing aircraft also increases the value of (L/D)max. 11.12 Which of the following aircraft derive more lift due to high power settings? c. How did you infer those two answers from a pie chart? Variometer [ edit] 11.1 A steep, low-power approach is more dangerous for heavy airplanes than light airplanes because, 11.2 Braking action on a dry concrete runway is ____________ that of a wet runway. TK. Constraint analysis is an important element in a larger process called aircraft design. Would the reflected sun's radiation melt ice in LEO? 4.10 in your textbook, what is your AOA if the CL is .6 for a symmetrical airfoil? Adapted from Raymer, Daniel P. (1992). We need to keep in mind that there are limits to that cruise speed. <> In a Cirrus SR22T, our indicated cruise speed is often 30 to 40 knots faster than V Y with 75% power. In other words, if we wanted to design an aircraft that could takeoff and land in a very short distance we can look at the takeoff and landing distance equations and identify the factors that would minimize these distances. 2.14 The energy of an airstream is in two forms: It has potential energy, which is what kind of pressure? 12.25 In the absence of a published procedure, what is the typical first-step recommendation in order to initiate recovery from an incipient spin in a straight-wing, general aviation aircraft? Find the Groundspeed. So your graph of vertical speed versus airspeed will work just fine for finding the maximum climb angle. Aviation Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for aircraft pilots, mechanics, and enthusiasts. 7.6 The minimum drag for a jet airplane does not vary with altitude. If we want an airplane that only does one thing well we need only look at that one thing. 11.13 Jet aircraft do not suffer from a thrust deficiency at low airspeeds. In essence this is a pretty powerful relationship and it can be used to analyze many flight situations and to determine an airplanes performance capabilities. 13. 11.24 If an aircraft traveling down a runway has a tire pressure of 50 psi and no other information is available, the approximate speed to which total dynamic hydroplaning may occur is __________. Raymer, Daniel P. (1992). 5.17 An airplane with a heavy load _______________ when lightly loaded. %PDF-1.3 Naturally, for this calculation you'll need to use the same units for both values-- a conversion may be necessary. If our desire is to look at an optimum range we might want to find the ratio of lift to drag that will maximize range (for example, for a propeller driven plane Rmax occurs with flight at [L/D]max or at minimum drag conditions). Raymer also suggests multiplying the first term on the right in the distance equation above by 0.66 if thrust reversers are to be used and by 1.67 when accounting for the safety margin required for commercial aircraft operating under FAR part 25. 3. mean camber line 12.1 Which statement is true with respect to Lift Coefficient (CL) and the Effect of Sweepback on Coefficient of Lift - Angle of Attack (AOA) curves?
