Lift-to-Drag Ratio for given Endurance of Jet Airplane Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lift-to-Drag Ratio = Thrust-Specific Fuel Consumption*Endurance of Aircraft/(ln(Gross Weight/Weight without Fuel))
LD = c_t*E/(ln(W₀/W₁))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

ln - The natural logarithm, also known as the logarithm to the base e, is the inverse function of the natural exponential function., ln(Number)

Variables Used

Lift-to-Drag Ratio - The Lift-to-Drag Ratio is the amount of lift generated by a wing or vehicle, divided by the aerodynamic drag it creates by moving through the air.
Thrust-Specific Fuel Consumption - (Measured in Kilogram per Second per Newton) - Thrust-Specific Fuel Consumption (TSFC) is the fuel efficiency of an engine design with respect to thrust output.
Endurance of Aircraft - (Measured in Second) - Endurance of Aircraft is the maximum length of time that an aircraft can spend in cruising flight.
Gross Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Gross Weight of the airplane is the weight with full fuel and payload.
Weight without Fuel - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight without Fuel is the total weight of the airplane without fuel.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thrust-Specific Fuel Consumption: 10.17 Kilogram per Hour per Newton --> 0.002825 Kilogram per Second per Newton (Check conversion here)
Endurance of Aircraft: 452.0581 Second --> 452.0581 Second No Conversion Required
Gross Weight: 5000 Kilogram --> 5000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Weight without Fuel: 3000 Kilogram --> 3000 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

LD = c_t*E/(ln(W₀/W₁)) --> 0.002825*452.0581/(ln(5000/3000))

Evaluating ... ...
