    The document provides information to solve several problems related to the aerodynamic and performance characteristics of an advanced light airplane. 1) It gives the drag polar equation and specifications of the airplane to calculate the maximum lift-to-drag ratio of 15.52 and maximum power coefficient of 242.95. 2) Using the drag polar, specifications, and lift-to-drag ratio, it then calculates the minimum power required of 57.21 hp. 3) The minimum power required is then used to find the corresponding flight speed of 120.85 ft/s.

    The parabolic drag equation of an advanced light airplane in clean configuration is CD = 0.025
    +0.0415CL2. Its weight is 3500lbs, has a wing span of 30ft and aspect ratio of 6. Compute the following:
    (Assume standard sea level conditions). All answers should be in 2 decimal places.

    a) maximum lift-drag ratio

    b) maximum power coefficient

    c) minimum power required (in hp)

    d) corresponding flight speed for minimum power required

    Given:

    CD = 0.025 +0.0415CL2
