The Predator UAV (see Fig. 6.63) has the following characteristics: wingspan = 14,85 m, wing area = 11.45 m2, maximum weight = 1020 kgf, and fuel weight = 295 kgf. The power plant is a Rotax four-cylinder, four-stroke engine of 85 horsepower driving a two-blade, variable-pitch pusher propeller. Assume that the Oswald efficiency factor is 0.7, the zero-lift drag coefficient is 0.03, the propeller efficiency is 0.9, and the specific fuel consumption is 0.2 kgf of fuel per horsepower per hour. Calculate the maximum velocity of the Predator at sea level.
