Tutorial
• Consider an aircraft’s wing is generating lift of
9500kg at a velocity of 105m/s during its level and
unaccelerated flight. The wing has a span of 10m
and m.a.c of 2.1m. Calculate the induced drag
during the flight at sea level.
END • A glider having a wing loading of 185N/m2 has the
following drag polar
CL 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4
CD 0.0145 0.014 0.0155 0.0183 0.0231 0.0299 0.0385 0.0491 0.062

Obtain the minimum rate of sink, minimum angle of

glide and the corresponding speed at sea level
