Question:

An Airbus A320-200 is flying at cruise speed in steady level flight. Its maximum cruise speed is 828 km/h and its mass is 78,000 kg, The lift is produced by both wing and tail, as shown in the figure below. Consider any other force on the airplane to be aligned with the center of mass. Knowing that the center of mass of the entire plane is located 1.5 m behind the center of pressure of the wing and 18.8 m ahead of the center of pressure of the tail, calculate the lift force provided by the wing, and the lift force provided by the tail If the wing has a planform area of {eq}123\ m^2, {/eq} and the planform area of the tail is {eq}49\ m^2, {/eq} calculate the lift coefficient of both the wing and the tail (assuming STP).

Lift Force:

The force exerted on the body by the fluid in the direction which is perpendicular to direction of fluid flow is termed as Lift force. Lift force try to move body in perpendicular direction of fluid motion.
