Question:
The Boeing 787-3 Dreamliner has a wing span of 52 m. It flies at a cruise Mach number of 0.85, which corresponds to a velocity of 945 km/hr at an altitude of 10,000 m. You are going to estimate the drag on the prototype by measuring the drag on a 1 m wing span scale model in a wind tunnel with air where the speed of sound is 340 m/s and the density is 0.98 kg/m3. What is the ratio of the force on the prototype to the force on the model? Only Mach-number similitude is considered. Use the properties of the standard atmosphere in Chapter 3 to evaluate the density of air for the prototype.
