Question: An aircraft has cruise range of 1500NM and SFC C = 0.5 1/hr. Cruise velocity of jet aircraft is 570ft/s with L/D as 13.2. Aircraft is supposed to do loiter of 2 hrs then what should be the gross weight of aircraft? Given, empty weight fraction of 0.55, crew and payload OF 6500kg with 0.98 as mission segment fuel fraction for climb, take-off and landing.
Options
A : 37000 kg
B : 37.8 ton
C : 37880lb
D : 3780 kg
