the maximum lift-to-drag ratio of the world war i sopwith camel was 7.7. if the aircraft is in flight at 2000 ft when the engine fails, how far can it glide in terms of distance measured along the ground? the distance the aircraft glides when the engine fails is statute miles.



Answer :

The far that can it glide in terms of distance measured along the ground is 15,400 ft.

The length of the line segment connecting the two sites is used to measure the distance between them. The shortest line segment between a point and a line will be used to determine the distance between them.

Given that,

World War I Sopwith Camel was 7.7.

If the aircraft is in flight at 2000 ft when the engine fails.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

lift/drag = distance/height

7.7 = distance / 2000

So, the distance is 15,400 ft.
