- Hello, I am a undergraduate student in the aerospace program here at Ohio
- State. I am in the second quarter aero class and I am having a problem will a
- assingment question.
-
- Here's the problem
- I have a high aspect ratio, high altitude, powered sailplane. I need to
- construct a Hodograph(Vv vs. Vh). I am given that the THP = 600 HP at
- 50,000ft. The problem I am running into is that I have a equation to use for
- lbs. of thrust but, none for THP. I do not know a V(infinity) for a
- convertion. Nor do I know enough about the A/C to calculate R/C(max) for a
- given V(infinity).
-
- Please contact me! at bphillips@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu or on the net.

- Thanks!!!!!(a frustrated student)
