Problem
The Gossamer Condor was the first human-powered aircraft capable of controlled and sustained flight to prescribed figure-of-eight course around two turning points 1.6 km apart. It had a wing span of 29.26 m& wing chord of 2.29 m. With a stake of mass of 95.25 kg the aircraft flew at 4.57 m/sin sea level conditions. Calculate the lift coefficient of the aircraft. Estimate the drag and power required to overcome the drag if the drag coefficient of the aircraft is 0.046.
