That is hard to answer as the Fokker Dr1 Triplane had 3 wings of different Length and Chord(which is the lenght of a section of the airfoil). Also the Upper wing had a large aileron that extended the chord and the length for a section of that wing.
I found a chord dimension of 3 Feet 3 & 3/8 Inches. I think that is the middle wing.
Length of each Wing.
Upper Wing (with aileron) =23 Ft 7 In
Middle Wing = 20 Ft 6 In
Lower Wing = 18 Ft 9 In
Tail- Horizontal, Width = 9 Ft 10 In
Tail - Length(front to back) = 5 Ft 3 In

Who made the Fokker fighter planes?
Fokker Flugzeugwerke GmbH was the company formed by Anthony Fokker, but controlled by the German government, that manufactured the famous Fokker fighter planes of World War I.
What was the Advantage and diasadvantage of the Triplanes?
The Fokker Dr.1 was limited in its airspeed to 103mph. This was due to the additional drag from the 3 wings that were close to each other. Their main advantage was their superior maneuaverablity in a fight. The three short wings allowed the triplanes to be more maneuverable and have a much higher climb rate. Shorter wings allowed it to roll about the fuselage axis much faster. If it wanted to turn, the triplane would roll on its side and pull a tighter circle than the standard biplane. In addition, the Fokker was able to make a 180-degree turn without banking(flat turn) in just a few seconds. When Werner Voss fought his last dog-fight with 7 British SE-5's, the British pilots said they were chasing Voss at one moment and then in the next instant he would be flying directly at them. The Sopwith Triplanewas different from the Fokker in that (a) all 3 wings of the Sopwith were the same chord dimension(narrowest part of wing), (b) the space between the wings was greater (with respect to wing chord), and (c) each wing of the Sopwith had control surface. The disadvantage of the Fokker was its short fuselage and large hoizontal tail during landing. Just as the a/c flared to land, the tail surface would stall out and airflow from the main wings would not flow over the tail. Thus the pilot had no tail control just prior to touchdown. Custermen
What is the German fighter name?

What is a chord on a airplane?
Chord refers to the distance from the leading edge of a wing to the trailing edge of a wing. Because wings are not perfectly rectangular, average chord is used and is calculated by dividing wing area by wingspan.
What is aerodynamic mean chord?
The chord in an aircraft is the cross-section of the wing.
What is a Fokker?
Fokker is the name of an aircraft company started by Anthony Fokker. The most famous plane he built that was referred to simply as a "Fokker" were the Fokker E-III Eindecker, which was a single wing airplane of WW1. Later in WW1, the Fokker Dr 1 tri-plane also became well known because it was the favorite fighter aircraft of the "Red Baron".
What is the ratio of the wingspan to the chord?
the ratio of wing span to the chord of the aerofoil is ASPECT RATIO
What airplane has three propellers one on the nose and one on each wing?
The ford Trimotor or Fokker F.VII
What is the name of a aeroplane with three wings one above the other?
Triplane.During World War 1, the tri-wing design was very successful fighter design for the German Fokker Dr.1. So other countries tried copying this concept; some with success and some were not so great. There were also bombers built that had 3 wings.Sopwith Triplane - British design which the Germans copied. This aircraft had flight controls on all three sets of wings(which were equal chord width), whereas the German Fokker only had ailerons on the top wing, the largest of the 3 wings.Pfaltz triplane.
When did Fokker end?
Fokker ended in 1996.
What did Anothony fokker invent?
the Fokker Dr1
What causes the separation of air over the wing during a stall?
The angle between the chord of the wing and the longitudinal axis of the airplance is too great.

What is the meaning of a chord in aerodynamics?
In aeronautics, chord refers to the imaginary straight line joining the trailing edge and the center of curvature of the leading edge of the cross-section of an airfoil. The chord length is the distance between the trailing edge and the point on the leading edge where the chord intersects the leading edge.The wing, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer and propeller of an aircraft are all based on airfoil sections, and the term chord or chord length is also used to describe their width. The chord of a wing, stabilizer and propeller is determined by examining the planform and measuring the distance between leading and trailing edges in the direction of the airflow. (If a wing has a rectangular planform, rather than tapered or swept, then the chord is simply the width of the wing measured in the direction of airflow.) The term chord is also applied to the width of wing flaps, ailerons and rudder on an aircraft.The term is also applied to airfoils in gas turbine engines such as turbojet, turboprop, or turbofan engines for aircraft propulsion.Most wings do not have a rectangular planform so they have a different chord at different positions along their span. To give a characteristic figure which can be compared among various wing shapes, the mean aerodynamic chord, or MAC, is used. The MAC is somewhat more complex to calculate, because most wings vary in chord over the span, growing narrower towards the outer tips. This means that more lift is generated on the wider inner portions, and the MAC moves the point to measure the chord to take this into account.
When was Fokker created?
Fokker was created on 1912-02-22.
