Question

B. (5 points) An advanced turboprop engine, called an un-ducted fan (UDF), is one of the promising new propulsion technologies for transport aircraft. As the speed of the plane increases (accelerates) the aerodynamic drag increases in proportion to the square of the air speed. Eventually the aircraft reaches a new cruise speed where the thrust from the UDF engines is just offset by the drag. The equations used to estimate the velocity and acceleration from the time the throttle is engaged until the plane reaches cruising speed (at approx 120 seconds) are the following: velocity 0.00001 time cubed -0.00488 time squared 0.75795 time 18l.3566 acceleration 3-0.000062' velocity squared Write an ma-file script called UDF.m that calculates and displays a table of time, velocity and acceleration for times from 0 to 120 in 10 second intervals. Design will be done in lecture or lab

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

time=zeros(13,1);
for i=2:13
time(i)=(i-1)*10;
end
velocity=zeros(13,1);
acceleration=zeros(13,1);
for i=1:13
velocity(i)=0.00001*(time(i)^3)-0.00488*(time(i)^2)+0.75795*time(i)+181.3566;
acceleration(i)=3-0.000062*(velocity(i)^2);

end
T=table(time,velocity,acceleration)

Output:

T =
