What physical factors are involved in the aspect ratio of airplane wings?

The aspect ratio of an aircraft wing determines the lift of the wing at a given speed. The lower the aspect ratio of a wing is, the more lift they tend to have, but the slower the airplane tends to move (assuming the same horsepower). Wings with high aspect ratios are found on faster airplanes, but the loading becomes higher and the ride decreases in overall smoothness.

Where can you buy a High Definition television with an aspect ratio of 16 to 12?

HD television formats always use an aspect ratio of 16 : 9. For that reason, all HD televisions have that aspect ratio. A 12 : 9 (or 4 : 3) aspect ratio is only used with standard definition video signals so any 4 : 3 television will be a standard definition model only.


What is the aspect ratio of a wing having a span of 42 feet and a chord of 84 inches?

For a rectangular wing, this reduces to the ratio of the span to the chord length as shown at the upper right of the figure. High aspect ratio wings have long spans (like high performance gliders), while low aspect ratio wings have either short spans (like the F-16 fighter) or thick chords (like the Space Shuttle).


What is the difference between taper ratio and aspect ratio?

(For televisions) Aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of the television screen to the height. TVs do not have taper ratios. (For airplanes) Aspect ratio is a ratio of the wing span squared to the wing's reference area. This gives you a sense of how thin/slender a wing will appear from the top view of the aircraft. High aspect ratio means a long/extended wing. b² / S ("b" is wing span, "S" is wing area) Taper ratio is the ratio of the wingtip's length to the wing root's length. This gives you a sense of the angle the shape of the wing. High taper ratio means a triangular shaped wing. t/r ("t" is length of the wingtip, "r" is length of wing's root)

What happens when a airplane is too high?

the engines won't get enough power and oxygen if you are too high, and the plane might stall since it will lose speed.
