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.
What is the aspect ratio of a high speed airplane?
Low! To minimize the drag which grow with the square of the speed.
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 do you calculate the aspect ratio of a duct?
The aspect ratio of a duct can be evaluated as the ratio of width to height. As the aspect ratio increases, vibration noise, friction and cost also increases.
What is aspect ratio for 1366 x 768?
That is a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Can someone explain the formula for determining aspect ratio for PC monitors In other words how do you know if your aspect ratio is 4X3 or 16X9?
the correct aspect ratio for 4x3 = 1.333 the correct aspect ratio for 16x9 = 1.777
What does aspect ratio of tires mean?
The aspect ratio is the tires profile. For instance, a tire with a 60 aspect ratio means that the tires hight from tread to rim is 60% of the tires nominal width. The lower the aspect ratio # the wider the tire.
What is the aspect ratio of 3x5 photo?
The aspect ratio is the ratio of width to length, in this case either 3:5 or 5:3.
How does an airplane landing work?
Almost every aspect of an airplane landing is managed by computer. The most important aspect is decelerating the airplane so the brakes and landing gear can stop the plane.
