Find stall Mach, thrust req’d, min drag Mach
Understand importance of L/Dmax
Know relationship of induced & parasite drag at L/Dmax
Find velocity for L/Dmax from thrust req’d or drag polar
State at what point max excess thrust occurs
Sketch thrust available (TA) versus velocity for mil and
AB
Calculate changes in TA for changes in altitude
From T-38 charts find: TA, excess thrust (TX), max
excess thrust, max Mach, and min Mach
State whether T-38 min Mach is thrust or stall limited

Thrust Required (Parasite)
Let’s Look at Parasite Drag First…
TR or D
TR = ½  V2 S CD,0 +
V (or M)
Thrust Required (+Induced)
Now add in Induced Drag
TR or D
TR = ½  V2 S CD,0 + 2 kW2 / ( V2 S)
V (or M)
Thrust Required (Total)
Then add them together…Thrust Required = Total Drag
TR or D
TR = ½  V2 S CD,0 + 2 kW2 / ( V2 S)
TR,MIN

Parasite = Induced

Lift/Drag
L/Dmax is a function of CD0 and k
At Min Drag, parasite drag = induced drag
CD,0 = CD,i
or
CD,0= kCL2
so: CDmin = CD,0 + CD,i = 2CD,0 = 2kCL2
solving for CL:
CL = (CD,0 /k)1/2

the twin-engine Beechcraft Queen Air
executive transport. The airplane
weight is 38,220 N, wing area is
27.3 m2, aspect ratio is 7.5, Oswald
efficiency factor is 0.9, and zero-lift
drag coefficient CD0 is 0.03. Calculate
the thrust required to fly at a velocity
of 350 km/hr at (a) standard sea level
and (b) an altitude of 4.5 km.
