Homework SourseA Global Hawk aircraft must fly a mission that has the maxim
A Global Hawk aircraft must fly a mission that has the maximum possible duration. Therefore, it must fly at its speed for (L/D)max . At the same time, its operators wish to have it fly as far as possible while maintaining its (L/D)max airspeed. What altitude would you recommend for this mission?
Fly as high as possible for maximum true airspeed while flying at the airspeed for (L/D)max.
Fly as low as possible for maximum true airspeed while flying at the airspeed for (L/D)max.
Any altitude will do. Altitude has no effect on the true airspeed for (L/D)max.
This answer doesn\'t matter, since Global Hawk is only capable of operating continuously at sea level, so there is no choice.
| A. | Fly as high as possible for maximum true airspeed while flying at the airspeed for (L/D)max. | |
| B. | Fly as low as possible for maximum true airspeed while flying at the airspeed for (L/D)max. | |
| C. | Any altitude will do. Altitude has no effect on the true airspeed for (L/D)max. | |
| D. | This answer doesn\'t matter, since Global Hawk is only capable of operating continuously at sea level, so there is no choice. |
Solution
option will be A beacuse as per design of global hawk aircraft it is a high altitude and long endurance unmanned aircraft system specially designed for military purpose.
