Question 9. The jet engine of an aircraft produces a maximum thrust, Tmax, that is proportional to the air density: Tmax=(T₂+0) KN The wing surface area of the aircraft is S

m². What zero lift coefficient of drag, Co, will the aircraft have if its absolute ceiling is at an altitude of 10 km and its maximum cruise speed is V m s¹ at an altitude of 8 km? [2+6 Marks] When submitting your worked solution to this question use the values To = 32 kN, S = 76 m² and V = 182 m s-¹.
