What is the formula of aspect ratio?(a) AS=\(\frac{b}{S}\)(b) AS=\(\frac{s}{b}\)(c) AS=\(\frac{S^2}{b}\)(d) AS=\(\frac{b^2}{S}\)The question was posed to me in class test.My doubt stems from Types of Take-off and Landing topic in chapter Take-off and Landing Performance of Aircraft Performance |

Answer» RIGHT option is (d) AS=\(\frac{B^2}{S}\) Easiest explanation: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the square of wing span to wing area. It is GIVEN by the formula, AS=\(\frac{b^2}{S}\) where AS is aspect ratio, b is wing span and S is wing area.In general the aspect ratio is maintained high in the aircraft for STRUCTURAL rigidity and REDUCING drag. |
