Consider an aircraft flying at standard altitude of 25,000 ft. at a velocity of 800 ft./sec, To
experience the same dynamic pressure at the maximum height of isothermal region, how
fast must the aircraft be flying?
The maximum velocity of Douglas DC-3 is 229 mph at an altitude of 7500 ft. Calculate the
Mach number of the airplane and the pressure sensed by a pitot tube on the airplane.
‘The airspeed indicator of an aircraft reads 160 m/s at cockpit reading altitude of 30000 ft.
and density altitude of 29800 ft. Find stagnation pressure, density and temperature at which
the plane is flying
At a given point in a flow field of air, the Mach number, velocity and density are 0.9, 350
m/sec, and 1.22 kg/m”, respectively. Calculate the density and pressure wherein the velocity
at point of the flow is zero.
+ Consider an airplane flying at Mach 0.7 at a standard altitude of 3km. At a point on the tail
Mach number is 1.1. Calculate the pressure at this point.
Assupersotie tuewenssiots convergent-divergent duct, which is fed by a large reservoir at
the inlet to the nozzle. In the reservoir of the nozzle, the pressure and temperature are 10
atm and 300k, respectively. At the nozzle exit, the pressure is 1 alm. Calculate the speed of
sound at the exit.

. You are given the job of designing a supersonic wing tunnel that has a Mach 2 flow at
standard sea-level conditions in the test section. What is the pressure and temperature at
the reservoir?
