An airplane weighing 70000 lb is in a cruise flight (constant altitude, constant velocity, level flight) at an altitude of 30000 ft, with a velocity of 0.5 Mach. Its wing area is 4000 ft2. Given the drag polar of the airplane as CD=CD,0+0.05CL2; CD,0=0.025. determine the thrust required TR to sustain this flight.
