The maximum lift-to-drag ratio of the World War I Sopwith Camel was 7.7. If the aircraft is in flight at 5000 ft when the engine
1 answer:
The related concepts to solve this problem is the Glide Ratio. This can be defined as the product between the height of fall and the lift-to-drag ratio. Mathematically, this expression can be written as,
Replacing,
Converting this units to miles.
Therefore the glide in terms of distance measured along the ground is 7.2916miles

The sun is the mother star of the solar system, which only emits light to half of the planet, while the other part is always dark.
The sun emits light towards the earth, which dominates all life on earth. The movements of the Moon around the Earth and of the Earth around the Sun are complex. Movements of rotation around their own axes are superimposed on movements of orbital translation. The Earth and the Moon rotate around their own axes: This is rotation.
