A small remote-controlled model aircraft has two propellers, each of diameter 16cm. Fig. 3.1 is a side view of the aircraft when hovering. [Figure 3.1] Air is propelled vertically downwards by each propeller so that the aircraft hovers at a fixed position. The density of the air is 1.2kgm⁻³. Assume that the air from each propeller moves with a constant speed of 7.6ms⁻¹ in a uniform cylinder of diameter 16cm. Also assume that the air above each propeller is stationary.
