= A twin-engined aircraft is flying at an altitude where the air density is 1.0 kg.m-3. Its current mass is 4400 kg, its wing area is 25 m2 and its drag polar is: Co = 0.06+0.108C7 Find: (i) the minimum drag speed of the aircraft (EAS); [61.5 m/s] (ii) the thrust required from each engine to maintain level flight at that speed; [3475 N] (iii) the lift-to-drag ratio of the aircraft at a TAS of 504 kmh; [2.78] (iv) the maximum lift coefficient that the aircraft can develop if the stall speed is 144 kmh TAS.
