Question

The airborne distance is given by __________

(a) SA=\(\frac{W}{(F_N-D)_{av}}\Big\{\frac{V_{2}^2+V_{LOF}^2}{2g}+35\Big\}\)

(b) SA=\(\frac{W}{(F_N+D)_{av}}\Big\{\frac{V_{2}^2+V_{LOF}^2}{2g}+35\Big\}\)

(c) SA=\(\frac{W}{(F_N+D)_{av}}\Big\{\frac{V_{2}^2-V_{LOF}^2}{2g}+35\Big\}\)

(d) SA=\(\frac{W}{(F_N-D)_{av}}\Big\{\frac{V_{2}^2-V_{LOF}^2}{2g}+35\Big\}\)

The question was asked in examination.

The query is from Estimation of Take-off Distances in portion Take-off and Landing Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) SA=\(\frac{W}{(F_N-D)_{av}}\Big\{\frac{V_{2}^2-V_{LOF}^2}{2g}+35\Big\}\)

Explanation: The airborne distance is given by SA=\(\frac{W}{(F_N-D)_{av}}\Big\{\frac{V_{2}^2-V_{LOF}^2}{2g}+35\Big\}\) where

W is weight

D is drag

G is acceleration due to gravity

V is velocity

FN is normal force.
