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
Kite lines you have a power kite 16 foot span leading lines approx 2mm thick brake line 1.5 mm what breaking strain would they be?
It is hard to answer from the information given, different brands of line will be thicker for the same breaking strain. Dyneena line is commonly use for sports and power kites. I can't even give you a suggested reccomendation as the wing span of the kite is not the only variable. For example Foil kite and arch kites of this wing span would generate diffeent lift depending on their aspect ratio. In addition I would strongly recommend you do not fly this kite without seeking some advice. Traction kites can generate very large amounts of pull and are dangerous to yourself and others if flown innappropriatly.
How do planes stay in the air?
As an aircraft's wing moves through the air at speed the air on top of the wing is forced to follow a longer path than the air moving underneath the wing [due to the spahe of the wing] This reduces air pressure on the upper surface of the wing and creates lift.
How does an airplane stay up in the air?
Winglift.Lift is pressure on the wing due differential air pressure below and above wing. This difference results from the difference in curvature of the wing top and bottom..
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).
What is the difference between taper ratio and aspect ratio?
(For televisions) Aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of the television screen to the height. TVs do not have taper ratios. (For airplanes) Aspect ratio is a ratio of the wing span squared to the wing's reference area. This gives you a sense of how thin/slender a wing will appear from the top view of the aircraft. High aspect ratio means a long/extended wing. b² / S ("b" is wing span, "S" is wing area) Taper ratio is the ratio of the wingtip's length to the wing root's length. This gives you a sense of the angle the shape of the wing. High taper ratio means a triangular shaped wing. t/r ("t" is length of the wingtip, "r" is length of wing's root)
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 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 wing having a span of 32 feet and a chord of 59 inches?
6:1
What is the aspect ratio of a wing having a span of 42 feet and a chord of 84 inches?
For a rectangular wing, this reduces to the ratio of the span to the chord length as shown at the upper right of the figure. High aspect ratio wings have long spans (like high performance gliders), while low aspect ratio wings have either short spans (like the F-16 fighter) or thick chords (like the Space Shuttle).
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.

What kind of wing shape does the F-22 Raptor have?
The F-22 Raptor possesses a trapezoidal wing configuration: a low aspect-ratio tapered wing wherein the leading edge is swept back, and the trailing edge swept forward to form somewhat of a diamond-shape.

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.
Taper ratio in wings?
The taper ratio of a wing is the ratio between the tipchord and the rootchord: ct/cr
