Boeing 767 takes off at 315,000 lbs. and burns 15% of its 112,000 lbs.

of fuel for taxiing, takeoff, and climb to a

beginning cruise altitude of 35,000 ft. Given that C = 0.5 #fuel/(#thrust x hour), Sref = 3,050 sq.ft., K = 0.0382,
CD0 = 0.0171, Max Thrust @ Sea Level = 120,000 lbs., Max Thrust @ 35K ft = 40,000 lbs.:
A. Find the velocity for maximum rate of climb at sea level and 315,000 lbs. What mach number is
this?
B. Find the maximum rate of climb at the conditions asked at a.
C. Find the velocity for maximum rate of climb at 35,000 ft and the heaviest cruise weight. What mach
number is this?
D. Find the maximum rate of climb at the conditions asked at c.
E. Find optimum cruise velocity at 35,000 ft., at the heaviest cruise weight. What mach number is this?
F. Find L/D for optimum cruise.
G. Assuming aircraft cruises at constant velocity and optimum L/D, at approximately what altitude will
it be cruising at when only 5,000 lbs. of fuel remain onboard?
H. Find maximum range in miles if 5,000 lbs. of fuel must remain on board when reaching final
destination.
I. If the same aircraft had encountered a headwind of 100 miles per hour during the last half of the
originally calculated range, what would have been the change in range?
J. What is the velocity for maximum endurance at sea level at the end of the cruise segment? What
mach number is this?
K. What is the maximum endurance time in minutes using the first 50% of these 5,000 lbs.? (Assume C
= 0.4 #fuel/(#thrust x hour)
L. Calculate the time (minutes) to climb to 35,000 ft. Assuming the conditions of a, b, c d.
