Homework Statement


a) The weight of the aircraft = 4000 N
b) Wing loading of the aircraft = 65N per sq m
c) Find the minimum drag, maximum lift to drag ratio and the minimum drag speed at sea level


Homework Equations



CD = 0.019 + 0.04 CL2
Where CD is coefficient of Drag
CL is coefficient of Lift
CL2 is square of coeff of lift
