How much horsepower does it take to climb a 4000 pound airplane through a 1980
foot change in altitude in one minute?

.
In a power off glide at 78 knots, the drag is 200 pounds. In a 2450
pound aircraft, what is the rate of descent?

5.
If 500 pounds of thrust results in 200 knots TAS, what is the thrust
horsepower?

What is the brake horsepower assuming 88% propeller efficiency?

6.
At 5500 ft density altitude and 55% Power, a B-19 consumes 6.7 gallons per hour
in order to generate 84 knots true airspeed. What is the specific range?

7.

22. How much brake horsepower does
it take to cruise an airplane under the following conditions?

Drag
= 600
lbs

IAS
= 200
kts

Density
ratio =
..7385

Propeller
efficiency = 80%

23. It requires 525 pounds
of thrust to hold 200 knots EAS at sea level. How much thrust would it take to
hold the same EAS at 15,000 feet?

hint: in balanced flight drag equals
thrust required
