The steady level flight speed, V, of a tubular rocket plane, such as the X-l or X-15, depends on the exit velocity of the rocket exhaust relative to the plane, Ve, the weight of the plane, W, the diameter of the fuselage, D, the area of the wings, A, the density of the air, ρ, the altitude at which it will fly, h, and the lift and drag coefficients, CL and CD, for the plane. How many nondimensional parameters are needed to characterize this problem? Give one possible grouping.
