How much horsepower would the Challenger Hellcat
Redeye Widebody need to run the speed of sound arrive before the
sound of its legendary engine arrives?
Pro Tips
Assume Stock Redeye Widebody curb weight
Assume no wind
Assume no driveline losses
Redeye travelling at the speed of sound (760 MPH
--> 1116.4ft/sec)
What you need to know:
HP = Fsum x V/hp
F drag = 1/2 pv^2 CdA
F rolling resistance = Crr x Weight
F sum = F drag + F rolling resistance
Cd = .398
A = 26.72 Ft^2
Crr = .015
p= .002377 slugs/ft^3
