Which of the following is correct for steady level flight?(a) T=D(b) T>D(c) DWI have been asked this question in examination.The doubt is from Flight Mechanics topic in division Performance and Flight Mechanics of Aircraft Design

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (a) T=D

The best EXPLANATION: In steady level flight, flight path ANGLE or climb angle is zero. Hence, CONVENTIONAL equation of motion reduces to the thrust T = Drag D. Steady level flight is unaccelerated and hence all the FORCES should give sum in respective direction as zero.
