For an aircraft, the 'wing loading' is defined as Wing loading = W/S. You will now calculate this so-called wing loading for a fully loaded Boeing 747-400. Using the internet, look up the wing surface area (in square meters) of a Boeing 747-400. In case the aircraft flies with its mass equal to the so-called maximum take-off weight, determine the wing loading (in Newton per square meter) of this Boeing 747-400.

The wing loading on an airplane is defined as the aircraft weight divided by the wing area. An airplane is cruising with a wing loading of 2500 Pa. The lift coefficient and drag coefficient are 0.30 and 0.06, respectively. Calculate the drag force if the wing planform area is 12 m2. Assume that the air density is unknown and not given.

Assume the Boeing 727 aircraft has wings with $\mathrm{NACA}$ 23012 section, planform area of $1600 \mathrm{ft}^{2},$ double-slotted flaps, and effective aspect ratio of $6.5 .$ If the aircraft flies at 150 knots in standard air at 175,000 lb gross weight, estimate the thrust required to maintain level flight.
