(b) lift to drag ratio

(c) installed weight to reference area

(d) gross lift and weight

The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I want to ask this question from Propulsion topic in section Propulsion of Aircraft Design

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) installed net propulsive force
