Ideal Cruise Speed relates to Maximum Endurance

    Cconsider a twin-jet airplane like the Gulfstream G550. Assume the airplane weighs 91,000 lb, has a wing reference area is 1,137 ft2, and is flying at an altitude of 41,000 ft. The Drag Coefficient (CD) for this airplane is a Function of the Lift Coefficient (CL) and the CD Function given for this airplane is: CD = 0.0165 + 0.078 CL2. Develop a 6-9 page (minimum of 3 Full Pages of Narrative) Short Paper following APA 7th Edition Style and Formatting Rules (no abstract required). At a minimum, your short paper should include the following: An introduction providing an overview of your observations of the values of CL, CD, and L/D with respect to the varying flight Velocities (V?) Based on this information, discuss implications of these figures Discuss your estimate of the Maximum Velocity Discuss your estimate of the Ideal Cruise Speed Discuss how this Ideal Cruise Speed relates to Maximum Endurance Conclude by sharing your thoughts how this information is important to an understanding of Aerodynamics Appendices displaying your Table and Graph(s) of the plotted figures Suggestion: Start by making a table in Microsoft Excel with the Velocities from 150 ft/s to 1150 ft/s in 50 ft/s increments. Then add columns for the CL, CD, and L/D. Make Excel do the calculations for you. Now the information should be displayed in a table for easy analysis. Excel can also be used to make a graph showing all of these results in a graph (this table and graph(s) should be added as your Appendices).
