Examine Eq. (6.44) in the text. This equation is an explicit relation for Vmax in terms of the thrust-to-weight ratio for the airplane, and hence allows a quick analytical calculation of Vmax for jet-propelled airplanes. Derive an analogous relation for Vmax for a propeller-driven airplane in terms of the power-to-weight ratio (power loading). Note: You will find a relation that relates power loading and Vmax, but you will also discover that it is not possible to solve this relation explicitly for Vmax. Even so, this relation still allows a quicker solution for Vmax for propeller-driven airplanes in comparison to the numerical solution discussed in Sec. 6.6.
