A Study of Forces Experienced by an Aircraft while Airborne

by Noah Manganello

 

Submitted : Spring 2019


 

The purpose of this project is to utilize individual forces to estimate the net force affecting a Cessna 172 during flight.  This was done by combining known specifications of the Cessna 172 with a theoretical problem involving an incoming wind and acceleration. By solving this kind of equation, a better understanding of aerospace physics and related calculus will be acquired.
