Ex8:
Consider our aircraft, W = 200000 N, wing area is 50 m2,
the thrust of the engine is 40000 N and the parabolic drag polar is
𝐶𝐷 = 0.014 + 0.05𝐶𝐿 2
a) Find angle of climb and rate of climb. If Aircraft’s velocity at mean
sea level is 150 m/s (Assume L = W)

b) Find the max angle of climb, and the climb rate under that flight
condition

c) Find the max rate of climb, and the angle of climb under that flight
condition
