Consider a light, single-engine airplane such as the Piper Super Cub. If the maximum gross weight of the airplane is 7780 N, the wing area is 16.6 m2, and the maximum lift coefficient is 2.1 with flaps down, calculate the stalling speed at sea level?

Respuesta :

Answer:

V=19.08 m/s

Explanation:

Airplane gross weight w=7780 N

Airplane wing area S=16.6 m²

Air density p=1.2250 kg/m³

Maximum lift coefficient CL=2.1

To find

Stalling Speed

Solution

The equation to find stalling speed is given below

[tex]W=(1/2)S_{area}(V_{Stalling-speed} )^{2} (P_{Air-density} )(C_{Lmax} )\\ so\\V_{Stalling-speed}=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{S_{area}*(P_{Air-density} )(C_{Lmax} )} }\\V_{Stalling-speed}=\sqrt{\frac{2*7780}{16.6*2.1*1.225} }\\ V_{Stalling-speed}=19.08 m/s[/tex]
