Question 5:

An aircraft climbs at an angle of 15°. The weight of the aircraft is 114 kN and its wing area is 68

m². The aircraft's drag equation is given by CD 0.035 +0.025 C. If the engines of the

aircraft produce 55 kN of thrust during the climb what is the fastest equivalent airspeed the

aircraft could be climbing at? The answer should have units of m s 1.
