1 . A full-scale airplane has a rectangular wing and the wingspan is 30 meters, the aspect ratio is 15 and is designed to cruise at 250 m/s at an altitude of
10,000 meters, where the air density is 0.413 kg/m³ and the dynamic viscosity is 1.46× 10-5 Kg/m-s. A 1:4 scale model of the airplane is to be
tested in a wind tunnel to ensure dynamic and geometric similarity. Determine the following wind tunnel conditions.
al Velocity of the airflow.
b) Temperature If the pressure is 940hPa

3 Consider the supersonic flow over a 5° half-angle wedge at 15 angle of angle of attack. The freestream parameters are M =2 consider the
density 1.23 Kg/m3. P = 1.31·105 Pa. The shear stress can be assumed to be zero in the contribution for lift and drag. The chord of the wedge
is 2 m. Calculate the lift and drag coefficient. Hint : determine the upper and lower pressure by the compressible flow theory
