STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity at Maximum Lift to Drag Ratio: 1.05 Meter per Second --> 1.05 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Maximum Lift-to-Drag Ratio: 5.081527 --> No Conversion Required
Weight at Start of Cruise Phase: 450 Kilogram --> 450 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Weight at End of Cruise Phase: 350 Kilogram --> 350 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Range of Jet Aircraft: 7130 Meter --> 7130 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

c = (V_L/D,max*LDmax_ratio*ln(W_i/W_f))/R_jet --> (1.05*5.081527*ln(450/350))/7130
