Summary:: Maximum distance plane can cover
A General Aviation plane of 3,994 kg flies at its best lift/drag ratio with constant speed at an altitude of 3,817 m. The engine provides a thrust of 1,493 N to overcome drag.
Suddenly the engine fails. What is the maximum distance the plane can cover to find a suitable emergency landing spot (in km)?
I'm very confused and cannot find any equation relating this situation. Can i use SUVAT or any tips please? thanks
