(choose chapter or problem)

A propeller is being selected for an airplane that will cruise at 2000 m altitude, where the pressure is 60 kPa absolute and the temperature is l0C. The mass of the airplane is 1200 kg, and the planform area of the wing is 10m2 The lift-to-drag ratio is 30: I. The lift coefficient is 0.4. The engine speed at cruise conditions is 3000 rpm. The propeller is to operate at maximum efficiency, which corresponds to a thrust coefficient of 0.025. Calculate the diameter of the propeller and the speed of the aircraft.
