A civil A/C has maximum lift coefficient of 3. If wing loading is 120 then, find approach speed of the aircraft. Consider sea-level density.(a) 10.5m/s(b) 10.50km/s(c) 12(d) 120I have been asked this question in a national level competition.My question comes from Wing Loading topic in portion Thrust-Weight Ratio and Wing Loading of Aircraft Design

Answer»

Correct option is (a) 10.5m/s

The best I can explain: GIVEN, civil aircraft, MAXIMUM CL = 3, wing loading W/S = 120

Approach speed of civil aircraft is given by,

VA = 1.3*Vstall

Where, Vstall = \(\SQRT{2*(\frac{W}{S})/(ρ*CL)}

= \sqrt{2*(120)/(1.225*3)}\) = 8.08m/s

Now, Va = 1.3*Vstall = 1.3*8.08 = 10.5m/s.
