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 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 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 airplane has three propellers one on the nose and one on each wing?
The ford Trimotor or Fokker F.VII
What is a chord of the plane wing?
A chord of a plane wing is the straight line segment that connects the leading edge (the front) and the trailing edge (the back) of the wing. It represents the width of the wing at a specific cross-section and is a critical measurement in aerodynamics, as it influences the wing's lift and drag characteristics. The chord length can vary along the span of the wing, contributing to different aerodynamic properties across the wing's surface.
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 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 was the Fokker triplane invented?
The Fokker triplane, specifically the Fokker Dr.I, was introduced during World War I, with its first flight occurring in 1917. It became famous for its distinctive three-wing design and was primarily used by the German Luftstreitkräfte. The aircraft gained notoriety largely due to its association with ace pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron.
What did Anothony fokker invent?
the Fokker Dr1
When did Fokker end?
Fokker ended in 1996.
What cause 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.
