The distance from one wing tip to the other is known as the wingspan. Wingspans vary widely depending on the type of aircraft; for example, a Boeing 747 has a wingspan of about 211 feet (64 meters), while a small general aviation aircraft might have a wingspan of around 30 feet (9 meters). In the context of birds, the wingspan can range from a few feet to over 12 feet (3.7 meters) in species like the wandering albatross.
Yes
wingspan is defined as the distance from wing tip to wing tip
If you are referring to the distance from wing tip to wing tip, it is usually called "wingspan".
Wingspan = (perpendicular distance from the tip of the left wing to the fuselage roll-axis) plus (perpendicular distance from the tip of the right wing to the fuselage roll-axis)
Biplane. Strictly speaking it has ONE wing on top of the other. General usage is to refer to the bit on each side of an aircraft as a wing, but technically the wing is the entire structure from tip to tip.
The distance from the tip of the 747 wing to ground is 6.8m / 22.31 ft
so other airplanes in the sky can differentiate your direction of flight.
Two or more planes flying in formation with the ends of their wings almost touching.ANS 2 - Wing tip to wing tip is also a way of expressing the wing span of an aircraft
The wingspan is measured as the distance from wing tip to wing tip. The most common commercial plane, the Boeing, has a wingspan of 107'10"
The wing spar on this aircraft is one solid assembly tip to wing tip so it is an integral part of the fuselage. This aircraft is not the usual kingair wingbolt bathtub fitting holding the wing on.
The outboard end of a wing.
The albatross has the biggest wingspan on (or above) the planet. The Royal albatross is 3.5 metres from wing tip to wing tip, and weighs 8 kilograms. The Antipodean or Wandering albatross is 3.2 metres from wing tip to wing tip.
