The f-35 is the latest generation of military fighter jet currently by many countries. It has a single turbofan engine that is capable of producing 190 kN of thrust. The aircraft weighs approximately 1.33 x 10^4 kg. - What is the maximum acceleration the jet can sustain in a vertical climb?
- On a cool morning where the temperature is at 6.0 degrees celcius, what is the speed of the sound?
- On that same cool morning, what is the distance travelled by the jet if it accelerates to a Mach number of M = 0.7 in a horizontal flight starting from M = 0.25. Assume that air resistance can be ignored.
