STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flight Speed = Ram Drag/Mass Flow Rate
V = D_ram/m_a
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Flight Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flight Speed refers to the velocity at which an aircraft moves through the air.
Ram Drag - (Measured in Newton) - Ram Drag refers to the drag force experienced by a jet engine due to the impact of air at high speeds.
Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass Flow Rate represents the amount of mass passing through a system per unit of time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ram Drag: 389 Newton --> 389 Newton No Conversion Required
Mass Flow Rate: 3.5 Kilogram per Second --> 3.5 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
