Consider an airplane patterned after the Beechcraft Bonanza V-tailed, single- engine light private airplane. The characteristics of the airplane are as follows: aspect ratio = 6.2, wing area = 181 ft2, Oswald efficiency factor = 0.91, weight = 3000 lb, and zero-lift drag coefficient = 0.027. The airplane is powered by a single piston engine of 345 hp maximum at sea level. Assume the power of the engine is proportional to free-stream density. The two-blade propeller has an efficiency of 0.83.

a.        Calculate the power required at sea level.


b.        Calculate the maximum velocity at sea level.


c.        Calculate the power required at 12,000-ft altitude.


d.        Calculate the maximum velocity at 12,000-ft altitude.
