Question

1.    Consider an light plane aircraft with a characteristic of:
Wing area = 181 ft2
Aspect ratio = 6.2
Oswald efficiency = 0.91
Weight = 3000lb 
Zero lift drag coefficient = 0.027
Powerplant = single piston engine of 345 hp maximum at sea level 
Propeller efficiency = 0.83
Calculate the:
a)    Power required at sea level at 100ft/s
b)    Power required at 12,000ft altitude at 100ft/s
c)    Minimum power required 
d)    Power available at 100m/s

From the aircraft characteristic above, and maximum rate of climb at sea level of 550ft/min 
Calculate the:
a)    rate of climb at 12,000ft altitude 
b)    time to climb at 12,000ft altitude 
c)    power excess at 12,000ft altitude
