A jet fighter aircraft is flying with maximum Mach number of 2.0. What will be the thrust loading of the fighter? Correct Answer 0.57

Given, Jet fighter with max Mach number M = 2.0 Now for jet fighter thrust loading is given by, T/W0 = a*Mc For a jet fighter a=0.514, c=0.141 Hence, T/W0 = 0.514*2.00.141 = 0.566 = 0.57.
