1.   (a)  Define the terms:

i. landing ground run and ii. landing distance.

Explain with sketches/ diagrams.  Explain the variation  of all the forces in the process of landing with a single plot for an airplane.

(b)  What  are the means adopted  for reducing the landing run of airplanes?  Ex- plain such methods  with the problem treated  as an engineering one.      [8+8]

 

2. Describe  the  long range  ballistic  trajectory of ICBMs.   What are  its  launching problems?  Make use of sketches and plots to explain it.  Explain the procedure for estimating  the powered flight phase of this kind of trajectory.                           [16]

 

3. Compare  the  total  drag of a military  airplane  having external  stores with a com- mercial jet liner with conventional  tractor engines below the wing.  Advance your arguments  with aerodynamic  theory,  supported  by sketches and plots.               [16]

 

4. A rigid body having a reference frame Oxyz moves with respect to a fixed reference frame ξηζ . Prove that  the distribution of velocities at a point P within the rigid body is given by the expression

V  = Vo + ω × OP

and that  the equation  of forces is given by


F = mao  + ω˙  × R  OP dm + ω × (ω × R  OP dm)

[16]

m                                                   m

 

5.   (a)  Explain  the  compressibility  of air with a common example and hence define the compressibility  of a fluid. What  is its significance in aerodynamics?

(b)  It is normally seen that  a supersonic nozzle acts as a subsonic diffuser. Verify

the statement with aerodynamic  considerations.                                         [8+8]

 

6.   (a)  Describe the airfoil section geometry represented  by NACA 2415. Plot the lift curve and explain laminar flow and separation  of flow over this section.  Make use of sketches and plots.

(b)  Describe the formation of vortex system over an airfoil placed in an air stream at moderate  angle of attack  .                                                                        [8+8]

 

7. Consider a system of rotations  from the  body to the  wind axes with reference to the  flight of an  airplane  over a flat  Earth.    Work  out  a matrix  for the  angular relationship  between

(a)  wind axis to Body axis.

 

(b)  Wind axis to local horizon axis                                                                     [8+8]

 

8. An airplane  weighing 160,000 N has a wing area of 41.5 m2 .  At a flight speed of

100 m/s,  the  engines give a total  thrust of 27,000 N. If the  drag  polar  is C =

Text Box: L
0.014 + 0.05C 2 , find the angle and rate  of climb at sea level at  100 m/s.   Explain


the procedure adopted.
