Ques 28 GATE 2025


While taking off, the net external force acting on an airplane during the ground roll segment can be assumed to be constant. The airplane starts from rest. SLO and VLO are the ground roll distance and the lift-off speed, respectively. αVLO (α>0) denotes the airplane speed at 0.5 SLO. Neglecting changes in the airplane mass during the ground roll segment, the value of α is ______ (rounded off to two decimal places).


(0.71) is the correct answer.
