Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Systems of Particles: Problem 4_30
4/30 The jet aircraft has a mass of 4.6 Mg and a drag (air resistance) of 32 kN at a speed of 1000 km/h at a particular altitude. The aircraft consumes air at the rate of 106 kg/s through its intake scoop and uses fuel at the rate of 4 kg/s. If the exhaust has a rearward velocity of 680 m/s relative to the exhaust nozzle, determine the maximum angle of elevation \(\alpha\) at which the jet can fly with a constant speed of 1000 km/h at the particular altitude in question.
