The Sopwith Camel has a maximum lift-to-drag ratio of 7.7, aspectratio =
4.1, Oswald efficiency factor = 0.7, mass = 635 kg, and wing areaof 21.5 m2.
(a) If the aircraft is in flight at 1,500 m altitude when itsengine fails,
how far can it glide in terms of distance measured along theground?
(b) Calculate the equilibrium glide airspeed that corresponds tothe minimum
glide angle at 1,500 m altitude.
