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
If you have collected data on the average wing span and height of 5 different birds What is the best graph to use to display this data?
double-bar graph
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.
