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 is the aspect ratio of an airplane?
Aspect ratio is the ratio of wingspan to chord (front to back of the wing). Alternatively it can be found by (span x span)/ (wing area).
If a jet plane is 230 foot with a 195 foot wingspan what would a 40 cm long scale model jet planes wingspan be?
Take 195 feet and divide by 230 feet to get the ratio of wingspan to plane length then multiply by scale model length of 40.00 cm to get 33.91 cm. Hope this helps you! Danny J. Sievert
How does the length of the wingspan of a rubber engine airplane affect the airborne time of the rubber engine airplane?
There is a component of the total drag of an aircraft called induced drag that depends inversely on the aspect ratio. The length of the wingspan is a key element in calculating aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is defined as the square of the wingspan divided by the wing area. The higher the aspect ratio of the wing, the less induced drag it creates and a slightly higher lift is generated than a shorter aspect ratio wing. In other words, long narrow wings fly easier than short stubby wings, and they stay aloft longer, all other elements being equal. That's one reason commercial jetliners (and the albatross) have such long wings compared to jet fighters (and hawks). That's also how the wingspan of the theoretical rubber engine airplane affects the airborne time of the plane. For an article on aspect ratio from NASA, and a neat little JAVA toy that lets you play with wing parameters, click the link below.
How does the width of a planes wing affect the way it flies?
Wings are designed for a specific purpose.Span is a measure from the wing root (where it attaches to the fuselage) to the wingtip. Chord is a measure of the distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wing. The ratio of span to chord is called the aspect ratio of the wing. A high aspect ratio wing (long wingspan but short chord) works best at slow speeds, like gliders or slow single engine aircraft. Low aspect ratio wings (short wingspan but long chord) work well at high speed, like fighter jets. The aircraft designer chooses the span, chord, and camber (amount of curvature on top of the wing) for the intended flight characteristics of the airplane.The wings on many (but not all) high speed jets are angled toward the back. The term for this is wing sweep or swept wing. A swept wing reduces drag at hig speed, while a wing that is not swept, or with less sweep, creates better lift at low speeds. The F-14 Tomcat had a wing that could be moved forward for takeoff and landing, and then could move to the swept position for high-speed flight. This system is not widely used because of the added weight, complexity, cost, and reliability. Instead, most manufacturers use a compromise that works best for both slow and high speed flight.
What is the standard length to width ratio of a fuselage?
Um, there isn't one. If there were a "standard" then all aircraft would be pretty much the same. And they aren't. It depends on the design mission (think wide-body passenger aircraft versus the F-104 Starfighter for example), and a number of other considerations.
How do you make a home made hang glider?
I wouldn't attempt this without some advanced studies of aerodynamics.Or you could buy a kit from a reputable manufacturer if you have some mechanical ability.
