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 a wing having a span of 32 feet and a chord of 59 inches?
6:1
What is a chord in math terms?
A series of notes sounded simulanteously- for example a C- Chord which is, on a Piano- fingered 1-3-5 starting at Middle C. Chord in Math might have to deal with a section of a bridge or an airplane wing- it has a different application than the musical sense. As music is mathematical- I have given the tonal variety first.
What is the term for the angle between the chord of the wing and the relative airflow?
Undisturbed flow is the flow of air approaching the wing. The angle between chord line and undisturbed flow is the geometric angle of incidence. Local flow (the relative flow you mention) is the flow actually "hitting" the wing. As the air apporaches the wing, it goes slightly downwards due to the downwash effect. The angle between chord line and the local flow is the effective angle of incidence. The above are mainly British terms so they might be slightly different in the US. Hope it helped! Break, Break; Indeed this definition is British. The angle of incidence in the rest of the world is the angle formed between the aircraft's longitudinal axis (a line along the fuselage centerline, from the nose of the aircraft to the tail) and the wing's chord (a line between the wing airfoil's leading edge and trailing edge). The angle defined in the first paragraph is the "angle of attack" (abbreviated AOA) in the rest of the world; that is, the angle formed between the free stream air and the wing chord line. All of these definitions are quite simple and make several assumptions since wing geometry is dependant on the reference system it is measured in. When a wing is being built, it is relaxed and supported in tooling jigs. The leading edge is defined in the jig system. But the aerodynamasist evaluates the wing's performance in the 1g steady state flight mode. In this system, the wing is usually bent up at the tips and the airfoils are twisted some. This creates a different LE point whilst flying. The net result is that the person needing to know must always specify for what system or condition the LE or TE point is needed.
What does the elevater do on a plane?
The elevator on a plane is a control surface located on the tail that is used to control the pitch or the up-and-down motion of the aircraft. By adjusting the elevator, the pilot can control the angle of the plane's nose and determine whether the plane climbs or descends.
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 the ratio of the wingspan to the chord?
the ratio of wing span to the chord of the aerofoil is ASPECT RATIO
What is a wing chord of a Fokker DRi?
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
What part of the planes wing controls the direction of the plane?
Rudder on the wing of the plane controls the direction.
What is the wing of a plane called?
It is just called the wing.
What is a plane with one wing called?
Mono plane.
What is the function of the wing of a plane?
To lift the plane and enable it to fly.
What does the wing do on a plane?
It provides lift to keep the plane airborne.
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 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.
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.
