Problem P5. (Propulsion) L.O.Ős C & D  

A future high performance military fighter is being designed with a wing loading (W/S) of 3200 N/m2.  At a mass of 20,000 kg it must be able to: 1)    fly a 6g combat turn at M=0.7, 2)    accelerate from M=0.8 to M=2.0 in 15 seconds and 3)    fly straight up at M=0.5.   Estimate the maximum design thrust for the engine.   Note, for a 6g turn the load factor, n=6, is the acceleration perpendicular to the wing.  For n=1, L=W.  Also, assume all maneuvers occur at an altitude of 11km where the pressure is 22.6 kPa, the temperature is 217 K, the density is 0.34 kg/m3, and the speed of sound is 295 m/s.  


Assume the coefficient of lift takes the form
