A twin turboprop engine is flying with 120m/s. Wing of the aircraft has span of 2m and lift co-efficient as 0.15 with aspect ratio as 9.2. Find the lift produced by the wing.(a) 574.18 N(b) 574.18(c) 120 N(d) 620 NThe question was posed to me in my homework.My query is from Wing Geometry-1 in chapter Airfoil and Geometry Selection of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (a) 574.18 N

For EXPLANATION: Given, a twin turboprop

Velocity V = 120m/s, CL = 0.15, Aspect ratio = 9.2, span b=2m

Aspect ratio = b*b/S

9.2 = 2*2/s

S = 0.434m^2

Now, LIFT is given by,

L = (1/2)*ρ*V^2*S*CL = 0.5* 1.225*120*120*0.434*0.15 = 574.18N.
